Below is a guide which I hope you’ll find useful, and if you follow the instructions you’ll be able to put your links into yout forum signature

Linking to another site
phpBB BBCode supports a number of ways of creating URIs (Uniform Resource Indicators) better known as URLs.

* The first of these uses the [url=][/url] tag, whatever you type after the = sign will cause the contents of that tag to act as a URL. For example to link to phpBB.com you could use:

[url=http://www.phpbb.com/]Visit phpBB![/url]

This would generate the following link, Visit phpBB! Please notice that the link opens in the same window or a new window depending on the users browser preferences.
* If you want the URL itself displayed as the link you can do this by simply using:

[url]http://www.phpbb.com/[/url]

This would generate the following link, http://www.phpbb.com/
* Additionally, phpBB features something called Magic Links, this will turn any syntactically correct URL into a link without you needing to specify any tags or even the leading http://. For example typing www.phpbb.com into your message will automatically lead to www.phpbb.com being output when you view the message.
* The same thing applies equally to e-mail addresses, you can either specify an address explicitly for example:

[email]no.one@domain.adr[/email]

which will output no.one@domain.adr or you can just type no.one@domain.adr into your message and it will be automatically converted when you view.

As with all the BBCode tags you can wrap URLs around any of the other tags such as [img][/img] (see next entry), [b][/b], etc. As with the formatting tags it is up to you to ensure the correct open and close order is following, for example:

[url=http://www.google.com/][img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/url][/img]

is not correct which may lead to your post being deleted so take care.

To download any kind of file, large or small, premium or free, from rapidshare or megaupload.

Here is what you do :

1. Go to

http://www.fileserver.cc/

2. Click on Rapidshare, Megaupload Premium Download.

3. Enter the Rapidshare download URL there.

4. Wait for it to upload the file from Rapidshare to its own server.

5. You will then get a new fileserver.cc download link.

6. Click on it and WAIT. It takes a little while.

7. In a few seconds you will be asked to fill the captcha to download your file. Do that and and download your file.

Other services you could use are:

http://www.hlusoe.info
http://www.freerapid.org/linkgenerator
