This should create an anchor, right? why isn't it working? And yes, I'm checking the "adding code" box.

that creates a link. If you want it to be an anchor that you can call a specific spot on a web page with page.html#anchor you need to have no href and add in name="anchor"

But yes, you have the html correct.

If you want to do it on the message board, though, you can't use HTML, you need to use BBCode, which would be

Code: [Select]

Still not working, and it's bumming me out.

Fix a man's code, and he programs for a day. Teach a man to code, and he programs for a lifetime. Thanks!
