It's taken me a couple of years how to figure out how address this in a post, Ferret, so don't feel too bad.
Changing a link to a word or words is easy. You can click on the link icon in the 'Post a new reply' section of the forum. That's the little globe with a chain link at the bottom. Type or paste a URL into the first box and the text you want to be the link (i.e.. what you want to appear red) in the second box that appears. What you will then see in your draft reply is something like the following:
Code:
[url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11031&pid=176936#pid176936]A link to Ferret's post
It will display like this in the actual post:

A problem, we've learned, is that the red text is unfriendly to people with red-green colour problems. To get around that, you can simply underline the text. The text tnat appears in the draft of your post will look like this
Code:
[url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11031&pid=176936#pid176936]A link to Ferret's post
That will display like this:

All this stuff is called MyCode and is explained in the help section of the forum. Follow [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/misc.php?action=help&hid=7]this link.
If it helps, I'll find a way to post the text of what this post looks like in draft.
