    Question Posting links.????

    OK I know this should be a doddle but the few times I have tried to post a link they have not worked.

    Here is what I do:-

    Once I have the item or article I simply copy it from the search bar and then paste it into the bit im typing, why does this not work.

    On top of that some people then seem to re name the link such as... Try " here "

    As in you click the word "here" and it takes you to it.

    Confused honest I am not normally bad with techno stuff I must be missing something.

    Use the "Insert Link" button Andy.

    Get rid of the http:// and copy your own link into the box, when you press okay it'll take you back to the thread you're writing. The blue highlighted bit can be replaced with whatever word you like, the link will still work as long you just change the blue bit.


    So this link ...

    No the links within the forum, not in IE itself

    Check which Editor you have selected in User CP, Edit Options - the scroll down to the bottom and select Standard Editor from the drop down box.

    When you start a thread or Post Reply there is a little globe like button which is "Insert Link", it's up by the Fonts etc
