In comments and boxes outside of the forums, URLs are automatically converted into clickable links (make sure the https:// is there for it to work - you can see it has been made a link automatically there). The same goes for using the @ symbol for usernames. Once you post a message, you should see it working.
In the forums, URLs are also converted to clickable links, but @ will not.
If you want to make a custom link with text in the forums, use the url tag:
Example website
Note that within url tags, the https:// is not needed.
You could also use the url tag to make clickable usernames in the forums, like:
@awesome-llama
Here is a creative use of the url tag that I might as well add:

Clickable images!

Hello and welcome to the forums. How do you make clickable links in scratch
To make clickable links, you first need to click the chain icon above the text box you write in. It should be to the left to the “A” letter. Then, put the link you want to make clickable into the pop up that comes up. After that just change the “Text to link here” text that comes to whatever you want to name the clickable link. Next time before making a post, please make sure that you don't make posts on topics that have been inactive for over a month.

If the text represents a valid URL, the link will be made automatically (like I said in the first reply). How do you make a link work in the notes or instructions part of a project
Like make it actually a link
Sign out or switch to a different account to see it. (it won't be visible if you can still edit the text box)
