If you press the URL hotkey you will get the BBcode inserted, it looks like (url)(/url) but with square brackets.
You just paste the url between the two bracket-pairs. If you want to type what the link should look like (make your text into a link) you insert a = so that it becomes (url=)(/url), then paste the link after the = and write the text you want to make into a link between the bracket pairs.

Oh man I'm so tired. It's past 1 in the morning now... I should go to sleep, but at the same time I'm kind of excited about this forum, heh.
It's been over ten years since I last used forums to communicate with other people.
I guess I should experiment with my fonts? Like writing in unique colors??

[ThisCat]

I should really go to sleep as well, but finding old poems is so much more fun!

Glad to know I was not the only one to stay awake more than my body thinks I should And thanks to everyone, I finally got the link thing. I should try to experiment with other things... Like this cool shadow function .

Out of curiosity what's the weather like in wherever-you-live?

(I asked about the weather, yes, I did. I want to talk about the weather)

Taking this as an excuse to join in but where I live is all rainy and cold at the moment,
Canberra has horrible winters and a general excuse to sit inside all day and read webcomics
(Just putting it out there that I'm an Australian Reader so if anyone needs a weather watch on the south I can probably fill in )

Winters? But it's summer right now...

Not on the southern hemisphere (which includes Australia).

[Nimphy]

I knew that at least the climate was different, but I thought that you still considered it summer. Cold summer and hot winter.

... I hope you do not expect us to return daily and edit our posts appropriately, as the forum's purpose is to provide a place for long-living discussion threads ... ?

Sun and clouds taking turns, too cool to turn on the AC in this (glass) building (which IIUC ventilated its last gasp several years ago, anyway, and is still present for the sole purpose of taking up the place needed to install a new one), but muggy.

Naah, just for today. I'm curious because my grandfather told me in Veneto it's snowing , and I wanted to know if the weather's crazy like that in the rest of the world.

[StellersJayC]

Well... Yesterday it was like 75 degrees (Fahrenheit) and I was far to warm. It kept alternating between being sunny and rainy. Today it is 65 degrees and now I'm cold. At least it's sunny, though, right?

I usually don't worry about the weather too much. I can't control it anyway.

[Eich]

It was 100+ F yesterday where I'm at.  I only went outside once, and that was enough for me.  My roommate is scouting out fraternities, so he was standing around all day in long sleeves and pants... he wasn't too happy about that. Today isn't too bad though.

Strange when it comes to things like Christmas which is in the middle of summer for us, I mean not that I mind because its a good opportunity to eat outside for the holidays but it also means that while it is sunny and warm over in the northern hemisphere, its cold and windy over here so i'd imagine that's why we shuffle the seasons around to fit.

If it's any consolation it's pretty cold and dreary here in Northern Europe right now, barely above 10 C°.
