Hi

There are two ways you can make a link clickable.

If you copy it from your browser's toolbar and paste it in here it will make it clickable.

If you use the symbol that looks like three links of a chain on the bottom line of the top tool bar of the posting window you can make it clickable and make it say something other than what the link reads. While you have to type in the link the second way, you can edit it to say something like " my layout here" and it will take you there via clickable link instead of the link the way it is. Just type in the link and hilight it and the 3 links {and a broken link} will appear and you can use it.

HAve fun and enjoy the hobby YOUR way!!!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

you do it by typing out what you want then with your mouse hi lite that portion of the text that is the link, right click, choose copy and you'll notice a link symbol will show up in the tool bar of the message.  Click on the link symbol and a small window will open.  Paste what you just copied into the provided space and click the insert button.

All I did above was put a space at the end of the line and Internet Explorer made it clickable automatically.

that too. Going to a new line works too {hitting enter}. BUT he may not be using IE., and not every browser seems to play well with this site.

If you're using Firefox, type in [url* then paste in your link, followed by ] then type in a word or phrase which will show up as the clickable link.  Follow that with [/url].  Note: The * should be replaced with = to make the link clickable

 

For your website, it might look like this (with the = changed to * for illustrative purposes):

[url*http://conewriversubdivision.yolasite.com/]My Website[/url]


Done correctly, you would see this:

My Website
