Bush Tucker Man:
Now I hope I'm not missing something glaringly obvious, but.......

How do you(I) add a link onto a posting in the manner that quite a lot of you do who aren't 'Techno-phobic Luddites' like me.

I mean the ones that read along the lines of;

'Heres' a picture of a nice looking Landie that i saw the other day'

How do I join in? :lol:

gords:
There is a row of buttons above the window where you type posts - the last one says URL. Click it when you want to enter a web address, copy and paste - or type the web address in (like http://www.mud-club.com) and click URL again :)

In fact, typing a fully formed URL like I did above, means it will get transformed into a clickable link anyway, without the .URL bit.

If you want to hide the link and have your own text linked like the Mud Club!, you need to type [ then url= then the full URL then ] then your text and finally [ and /url and ]

(I've typed it out like that because you would just see a link otherwise :wink:

SteveH:
Glad some one has asked that and had it explained ;) cheers for a clear answer gords, shortened down my sig a bit..

Bush Tucker Man:
Yes I am a Luddite, it don't work for me :)

SteveH:
you dont have any spaces in it, just a string of text
