Do you have a massive link that you absolutely must post, but don't want to suffer the embarrassment of looking foolish? Check it out, I have assembled a step by step process to help clean up a few threads. Pictures included

Step 1 - Type in what ever text you want in the message box. For this example, I have entered the word 'hi'.

Step 2 - Locate the icon that I have circled in the image below.

Step 3 - Once you locate it, highlight your text in the message that you wish to hyperlink to, and click on the circled icon.

Step 4 - A little box will pop up. This is where you enter the URL/website that you wish to link to. Copy and paste the desired website into this box. You must include the http:// tag, or else it will not work.

For this example, I have copied the URL to the google search engine.

Step 5 - Select 'OK'. Your selected message should be underlined with blue font, like so.

Step 6 - Select 'OK' to post your message. Your post should look like this when fininshed, meaning other users will be able to click on it to go to the desired website.

If you wish to see the example provided in action, follow this link and look for post number 40283.

If it does not work, repeat the steps again.

kthxbye!!
