It's the BBcode formatting which allows you embed a URL to a text.

The tags are simple to use.

As per:

[url={Insert your trade URL here}]{add the text here}[/url]

[1] Do not include the curly brackets.

[2] Include the other parenthesis are these are required in the tags.

Here is some examples of what the some embedded URLs may parse as...

    • GT[www.gametracker.com]

DONT YOU EVER DO IT LIKE THIS

There is nothing more annyoing in tradeforums or profiles than this really. Just post the plain tradelink. No fancy stuff around it. This way you will have a neat button to press that opens a pop-up where you can trade rather than redirecting you to a different page

Here's to a quick example:
This is good...

My response to the OP at the time had to do with how you actually embedded text to a URL.

It should be common knowledge that certain URL's like trade links will parse that way when used within community areas.

Had you actually read the original post, they clearly just wanted to know about BBcode formatting and the "underline" which just indicated that there's an embedded URL.

I'm also certain that in trade forums, people don't care as much as you do about someone deciding to just use the embed, instead of the plain parsed URL. Then again, I haven't been around the trading scence lately to know what pet peeves traders have other than scammers.

Thank you! Steam profiles don't turn the the trade URL into a neat button, so this is super useful for adding the trade URL to my profile without it taking up too much space.
