I'm sure I've done lists before, it's bullets I'm after.

Before I go to Sin-City, I need to

  • phone the cat sitter
  • pay some bills
  • mow the lawns
  • plan some healthy meals for when I get back

Yay, it's worked!

The only error is that your URL coding has accidentally got curly brackets instead of square ones (probably do to the SHIFT key being mistakenly held).

Gap? [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Don't_Like_Mondays] "I don't like Mondays" [/url]

When it comes up on screen, it looks as though there's a gap between the url= and http. But it doesn't look like that on here.

Tried using the automated version as well.

The UBB software is fussy about characters in URLs. In this case, the problem is the underscores in the address. You'll need to use somethign like tinyurl to get an address the board software will allow.
