I simply meant board code for linking a members name to profile in a post. I thought I had seen it done on here. Just getting the hang of the basics, like italics, etc.
Ah, ok. There isn't a button, so here would be the steps I would recommend using.
- type out or copy/paste the members name (I'd copy/paste yours because I wouldn't want to go through the effort of typing out Harry BC Dresden backwards.
- Right click on a link to the member's profile (typically found to the left of one of their posts, but there are other places you can find one) and select "copy shortcut" or your browser's equivalent option
- Select the text of the name from step 1 and hit the "Insert Hyperlink" button which looks like a globe with a page on the bottom right*
- after the first "url" inserted by step 3, type "=" then paste the link from step 2 (Quickly done by mashing [ctrl]+[v] on your keyboard, but there are other ways to do it, like right clicking and stuff)
*I also frequently manually do step 3.
When done the resultant code should look like this:

This results in the explanation being jiberish to them, so let me know if the above works for you.
