I would imagine it works the same for the Forums and the Groups. Have you tried it? If not then give it a try, you never know it might just work.

A toolbbar should drop down from the on your internet exlorer/firefox window.

this will have colors/font/links/etc.

Write out your text and select the word/phrase you want to be a link.
From the toolbar click the hyperlink button.
When the Hyperlink window pops up, add your URL to the link box.
then it should be good to go.

Yes, it is. In articles, you use the same bulletin-board code that you'd use on the forums ([url]). That code doesn't work for news articles, though. If you want to make a named link that looks like this: Bungie Website, then you would have to highlight the words "Bungie Website" in the news submission textbox. A menu drops down at the top of the screen, on which you'd click the button that looks like this, and then a dialog box comes up where you can edit properties like the URL, the target window and so on.

So the Toolbar just appears when you click in a text-area? That's pretty clever.
