How to do links??

Well, from what I know, i've been using the "A HREF" method to link text to other websites like

<A HREF="www.nba-live.com">NBA LIVE WEBSITE</A>

But when I use this on my posts, it displays the whole thing and not the link.
How? How? Howw??!?!

we use bbcode on the forums

faq.php?mode=bbcode

Code:

[url=http://www.nba-live.com]NBA LIVE SERIES CENTER[/url]

NBA LIVE SERIES CENTER

Further to that, phpBB3 doesn't support HTML in posts. You may use the above method if you wish to give your link a title or simply post the URL and it will automatically be parsed:
http://www.nba-live.com

Thank you! Thank you very much.
