Hi Lisa,

to post a link just find the page you want, right click on your address bar and select 'copy', then just paste it where you want. That's how I do it anyway - if there's an easier way, without having to search for the post you want, let me know!

Hi Lisa.

Are you using the simple text editor? If so, you need to change to a more advanced type.

Click on USER CP on bar above threads.
On left, look for CONTROL PANEL
SETTINGS & OPTIONS
Click on EDIT OPTIONS
Scroll to bottom os screen...MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS
Look at the choices box and change the selection to ENHANCED INTERFACE.
Click on SAVE CHANGES.

Now, when you open the text editor to post, above the text edit window you will see a lot of formatting icons. Look at the top line to the little smiley which is just to the right of the letter A. Immediately below the smiley you will see a globe with a chain. That is the INSERT LINK icon.

To insert a link into a post, go to the page you want to link to (I usually open a second browser window to use for this).
Right click on address bar, then left click on COPY on drop-down menu.
To insert that address into your post as a link, click on INSERT LINK icon.
This opens a dialogue box. Right click in URL window then left click on PASTE.
Click OK. This will insert the hyperlink into your posting

It sounds complicated but after you've done it a few times, you'll find it quite straight-forward.

Any problems, just shout.

I second DEATHSHEAD's one

highlight the address bar of the page you want to link to, press Ctrl C, to copy it, go to where you want to link from, and click Ctrl P, paste.

Top left on your computer screen
