So remember when I rolled the primer over to this site? Well I finally got back around to fixing the table of contents, but there's no descriptour of how to apply those tags in the help link beside the advanced post creatour. When I copy the anchor tags and apply them, it lights up the targeted area like a link, but I don't get a cursour that can click on and interact with the link. It's left me frustrated and I just can't figure it out. Can we do like a wikihow explanation with each of these tags? It looks like you'd just plug it in but it's really...not intuitive at all.

It looks like the issue is that the old tag was "alink" while the new one is "anchor" (if I am reading your Kaalia thread right). So a straight port isn't possible.
If we take your Kaalia thread, it looks like one entry in the ToC is: "Effective Strategies". Which then should link down below. So, the appropriate BBCode would be:
[anchor goto=EffectiveStrategies]EffectiveStrategies[/anchor]
[anchor id=EffectiveStrategies][size=1].[/size][/anchor]
[align=center][b][u][size=150]~~Effective Strategies for Kaalia of the Vast~~[/size][/u][/b][/align]
Which would get you this (line breaks added to make the "anchor" more obvious):
EffectiveStrategies
.

@WizardMN got it exactly right.
Anchor tags can have a "GoTo" or an "ID"
The "GoTo=X" says: Make this a link that pushes you to the anchor tag with the corresponding ID of X.
The "ID=X" says: This is a landing spot for "X" so when someone clicks anchor with GoTo=X, go here.
You can add both to an anchor, which would make it both a link to X and a landing spot for Y.
ALINK was used on Sally because the software there didn't allow me to create something like this, where you could do either/or/both.

Thank you so much guys, this really helped to see things more clearly! Now once I finish the table of contents links, I can look into putting it in a proper box.
