We have an HTML forum (message board) used for communication within our
company. The forum is only available within our local network. I would like
to create an HTML link to a OneNote page from the forum.

From OneNote I select Edit > Copy Hyperlink To > This Page. This gives me
the link below. How do I create an HTML hyperlink in the forum using this
OneNote link?

onenote:///Z:\Dept\MM\OneNote_Notebooks\MM%20Documentation\Fo rum.one#Email%20Settings&section-id={656A3BC7-81A2-4EAD-A69F-9C77EC134661}&page-id={0C662158-F0B7-42E3-B5D0-3ED4CD30A0ED}&end

If others on that forum have OneNote (and therefore the OneNote URL handler
for ONENOTE:// links) and have access to that shared area (the Z: drive)
the link should work. You should be able to paste the link as is into the
forum post, or into the link generator tool, just the same as you would any
other type of URL.

Pasting the link into Outlook or Word does work. The onenote link is
displayed as a clickable hyperlink. However, when posting the same link into
the HTML forum it is added as text, it is not clickable.

If you can edit the HTML directly (i.e. in a HTML mode, rather than text)
you could insert an 'a' tag: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_a.asp

In this case the href value would be the onenote url below.

I was able to make the onenote link work by making the following edits to the
address line:
1. Remove the third forward slash in the onenote:/// section.
2. Change all backward slashes to forward slashes.
3. Remove all braces { }.

Then enclose the address within .

I am using this in a phpBB forum. It must be a restriction of the phpBB
forum software that the URL must be in a specific format.

Sounds like it. It is usually up to the software displaying the URL to
figure out a way to detect inline text as a URL and make it clickable.
Glad you found a solution.
