Hyperlink

sfetty

How do you insert a hyperlink into a post so that when someone clicks on it they can go directly to that particular site? I see the hyperlink icon, but how do you incorporate the actual web site address onto the message screen that you are typing on?

sfetty, insert your link between the sets of brackets thusly:
left bracket followed by the letters url followed by right bracket, then the url you wish to post finally left bracket followed by characters /url ending with right bracket. Of course when I try to show an example, it only shows the link, not the mechanics .

Here's an easier way: Just open another instance of internet explorer and go to the place you want to link. I just went to the "Ammunition Store" site. Click on the address of the site near the top of explorer (where it says http:// etc.) and the URL should turn blue. Copy it (Edit/Copy or control-C key), then go back to the instance of explorer where you are editing your message and just paste it in (Edit/Paste or control-V key). When you post the reply, it should be automatically converted. (I am now pasting below...)

Thanks for the replies. I'd like to be able to share any good sites that I come across pertaining to firearms or whatever the particular post is that I am reading and I think it would be of interest to this forum. Thanks again.
