Giving Credit with a Hyperlink - I'm having an issue
Hello, I'm a new Scratcher. I couldn't find a more appropriate thread to post this in, so here we go:
In my game “PONG by SCB” (Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/119717838/ ) I used a text engine that was developed by a used named theChAOTiC (link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/90278685/ ).
I gave them credit for their work in my Notes and Credits section, next to the project, but neither their name nor their text engine's web address have converted into hyperlink. I want to give proper credit, and therefore would like to make their name and project web dress into respective hyperlinks. How can I achieve this? Do I use HTML/BBC code in the Notes and Credits section?
Thank you for your help.

You won't be able to see it when you're logged in. Other people can click it.

Well, to turn a username into a link, just put an @ symbol in front of it. And like @cs156175 said, it won't be a link for you, but other scratchers will view it and use it as a link to the person's profile.

Yeah, I've seen the @ before their name on other projects, so that's what I did, so I was very confused when it didn't appear that way for me.
Thanks, to both of you!
I did not know that, and I think it answers my question. I'm going to post this, go to my game, and log out to see if the hyperlinks appear. You won't be able to see it when you're logged in. Other people can click it.
Thanks, to both of you!
