I'm trying to learn HTML. My dad won't teach me, and I have seen lots of people using it freely around the site. So I would like someone to help me.
Let me do a test:

The HTML code is correct but I'm not sure if AG allows HTML code inside forum posts(think of what people would do)! Your code is correct though(the HTML) if you need some help...Just ask okay?

Nope. They don't. BBCode only.

And yeah, the thing doesn't work. You would have to go [url+http://armorgames.com/user/TRUdog]http://armorgames.com/user/TRUdog

Urg, so annoying! I spent all that time trying to learn it... and now I can't use it. Whatever, at least I learned it.

Now to learn BBCodes...

So I quickly learned BBCode.
Now, I'm not really expecting this to work but... [html]<A HREF="http://armorgames.com/user/TRUdog">Does this work?</A>[/html]

HTML will not work on most forums. Also, normally, a HTML open and close tag would be in lowercase:

<html>
<head>
<body>
<a href="not a real website.co.uk">Not real.</a>
</body>
<head>
<html>

Just to make a note: BBCode was made simply for forums, and most forums will use BBCodes. If you look at the top of your comment box there are a few blue buttons. The one that says 'Link' will allow you to open your BBCode tag, and end it.
In BBCode-and unlike HTML-a tag (both opening and closing) is surrounded by square brackets ([ and ]) rather than the greater than, less than signs. (< and &gt
A BBCode also refers to the link as a URL, and to make a link tag in BBCode you do the following:

1. Start with an opening tag (take out the asterisks)
[*url*=http://armorgames.com/user/TRUdog]

2. Put the letters you want to link (take asterisks out:
[*url*=http://armorgames.com/user/TRUdog]THIS IS WHAT WILL LINK

3. End the link (take asterisks out):
[*url*=http://armorgames.com/user/TRUdog]THIS IS WHAT WILL LINK[*/url*]

It will soon look like:

THIS IS WHAT WILL LINK

Meant to be end tags!

THIS IS WHAT WILL LINK


That went wrong because I copied the asterisk, I meant:

THIS IS WHAT WILL LINK
