Posting a Regular Link
1) If you've found a link on another board or webpage that you'd like to share, click on the link.
2) Once the webpage has opened up on the right page, look up at the top of your browser window. You will see an address bar at the top which has a link in it. This is the URL (or link) for that page.
3) Highlight the complete link then right click and click on 'copy'
4) Go to your message box and once you are ready for the link, right click and click on 'paste'. The link will pop into your post. Make sure you put a space before and after your link so that it will work correctly.
5) Once you click on 'post' at the bottom, the link will automatically turn into a clickable link.
If you have any problems or questions, please feel free to pm an admin or moderator.
