Maverick Martin Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Al either type in http://www. before the website address or click on the htt:// button above left and follow the instruction in each window Cheers Martin PS As an example I have made the link in your last post live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Martin, as you can see I messed that up. See boarfish at Branksome!!!! When you get the second message board come up asking for web page title, what do you type in there? Is the web page title not included in the http:// thing?

duncan Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 hehe - it' s a bit like tying shooelaces and ties; easy when you know how............. if you want to provide a link to a web page right click on the web address of the page and select 'copy' back to your post left click where you wish to add the link left click on the http:// button above the post box right click on the highlighted bit in the box that opens and select paste click OK type anything you want in the next box that opens - this will be the words that are created as a link click OK all done if you want to grab an image from the web and show it in a post (making sure it isn't copywrited or otherwise sensitive of course) then right click on the image, select properties and a box opens up. select and copy the address given for the image back to your post right click where you want the image click on the IMG button above left click on the highlighted bit and paste click OK job done see post re boar fish for practical results!
