    [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Rune-Mysteries-Nigel-Jackson/dp/1567184030"][SPECIAL]RUNE MYSTERIES[/SPECIAL][/URL]

    The reason that doesn't work right is because of the "special" tags - that code is for linking to "special pages" on TC, and the book you're referring to doesn't have a page on TC (that's also - I think - why it comes out red, not blue; that means the page it's trying to link to doesn't exist).

    I'm really curious about this, by the way - in your first test post, you tried both the "s" tag and the "special" tag. That sounds like there's something particular you were expecting one or the other of them to do, and though I've tried and tried, I can't guess what. It might be really helpful to getting this sorted if I/we knew what you were aiming for with that.
    Silly me. One more thing to test, the code as it shows there but without the "special" tags.
    RUNE MYSTERIES

    Yep - it doesn't go through TC's Amazon Store, as we prefer, but it does go to the right page on Amazon.

    i deleted the "[" between the word yahoo and the end url symbols so you can see what it should look like without getting the parse stuff. When you put the [ back, what you should see is this

    yahoo

    the blue word yahoo is actually the link to yahoo.com
