snippet of previous quote:
[quote="[post=8595624]alamahant[/post]"]Hi Guys

And normal urls:
Wikipedia - Gentoo penquin wrote:
The gentoo penguin (/ˈdʒɛntuː/ JEN-too) (Pygoscelis papua) is a penguin species (or possibly a species complex) in the genus Pygoscelis, most closely related to the Adélie penguin (P. adeliae) and the chinstrap penguin (P. antarcticus). The earliest scientific description was made in 1781 by Johann Reinhold Forster with a type locality in the Falkland Islands. They call in a variety of ways, but the most frequently heard is a loud trumpeting which the bird emits with its head thrown back.
beginning of the above quote:
And normal urls: [quote="[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_penguin]Wikipedia - Gentoo penquin[/url]"]The gentoo penguin (/ˈdʒɛntuː/ JEN-too)

Click here to go to the gentoo wiki.
Code:
Click [url=https://wiki.gentoo.org/]here[/url] to go to the gentoo wiki.
Note that url tags never use quotes around the url.
