How do I post a Link

March 4th, 2017
Hi

If I want to post a 'hyperlink' to a webpage, or to a photograph from my album (or somebody elses for that matter), how can I do that, without having to cut and past the entire web address.

For example if I want to write "for more information on the bumble bee take a look at the following 'link' (and have the link take the reader to the web page when he/she clicks on the word 'link' as opposed to typing in full www.worldfbumblebees.com)

Thanks in advance

If you mean to post in a discussion post Phil, you can normally click on the " How can I format my reply" below the writing box, however I see that URL is not working. @Scrivna can you check that?

I tried to post the code that's used for links just now, but it kept making it into a link lol

Just googled a quick solution and found this, it uses the same code, very simple to do:

Hi Phil - here's what you would write... - <a href="your-link.com">link text</a>

@Scrivna Hi.. i've been informed one of my images for bw-8 came first place. therefore it is for me to set the next challenge. i have no idea of where to begin.. could you possibly advise me, please.

also the counter for the number of folk i follow is incorrect. it indicates '8' but i know it is more than double that.. is it possible to sort it??

thank you Ross - jorlam

I've been wondering how to do that phil, as cutting and pasting from word doc stops hyperlinks. Not sure I understand what ross @Scrivna typed so will follow your posts with interest and learn from you!!
