This is a total NOOB question but, how do I make a keyword a hyperlink in a post?
I've tried but I just keep seeing the full link and not a clickable underscored word.

Thanks,

OK, I get it. 
Thanks!
Is there a mod that would make this more user friendly?
Like say a user highlights a word and clicks a button that would make that word an underscored hyperlink?

You could censor the word, then censor it to link to something else. That might be a bit over the top thing to do, but it should work. Other than that, no clue.

I agree, a tool for creating hyperlinks with keywords like the way Blogger has implemented it would be user friendly.

Manually doing it as described is not something I want to post a FAQ on for my users.

The average user creates a post-readability-unfriendly url link in my forum that looks like this:

Which would look better as click here

I don't want to spend the next 5 years explaining to every forum visitor that doesn't know the secret handshake that "there's a better way to create a link ...do this... then this.." 

You should be able to highlight english key words (not a url), a dialog pops up for the url, paste it in the dialog, hit ok.  A beautiful hyperlink is created automatically.

You could also use my mod that automagically gets the titles of pages and turns them in a titled link...
