To create a link in a WebBoard posting simply copy the address into the message entry box.
To produce clickable text other than the URL Edit the message after you first post it to the board. Replace the second instance of the URL with the text you want to be able to click on in the message.
For example:
If I paste http://www.slc.edu/~support into the message window of a WebBoard posting and hit the Post button then the message will contain a live link to our Academic Computing support site that looks like this:
When I edit the posting I find that the html code looks as follows:
<a target=_new href="http://www.slc.edu/~support">http://www.slc.edu/~support</a>
If I replace the second instance of the URL with Academic Computing Support site:
<a target=_new href="http://www.slc.edu/~support">Academic Support Site</a>
the link will now
look like this in the posting:
