There's been some confusion on how to use the URL button along with descriptive text (instead of simply pasting the full URL)
Here's a quick snapshot of how I use this feature. I've found it is pretty easy now that I'm used to it.
Step 1
Type in your link text:
This is my link text.
Step 2
Copy the URL you want to link to to the clipboard (ctrl+c)
Step 3
Highlight your link text:
This is my link text.
Step 4
With your link text highlighted, hit the hyperlink (http://www.ultimateyota.com/smf/Themes/rt_smf_versatility2_lime/images/bbc/url.gif) button. This will place the URL tags around your text (I'm using curly brackets so it will show up).
{url}This is my link text.{/url}
Step 5
Insert your cursor after the "L" in the first "url" and type an = sign:
{url=}This is my link text.{/url}
Then paste (ctrl+v) your URL:
{url=http://www.ultimateyota.com/url}This is my link text.{/url}
There you have it!!
