How to upload links

[vawtman]

One finds something that may be of interest on the net and wants to guide others to it.

 Just a quickie.

   Thanks

First. Make sure "Auto Format" is selected [between the preview and post button below text entry box].

Second. Find the site you want to share, do whatever your system requires to get the URL copied into the clipboard.

Third. at some spot in your post just paste in that http....part. preview the post and it should show as a link with the location as the clickable text.

Its all in that "Auto Format" selection. It recognizes web addresses and makes them links.

Easy as falling off a bar stool.

Cheers.

Hi Tom

 "do whatever your system requires to get the url copied into the clipboard"???

 Its windows xp

 Falling off a bar stool is much easier.

 Sorry to be a bother

Well, I use a Mac and copy is "apple key" & C and paste is "Apple key" & V.

Haven't used M$ in a long long time so can't help there at all.

Probably control and C and control V??

Cheers.

Right click the url, click 'copy'.

Right click in your post, click 'paste'.
