Badly put I know I'm just hoping someone understands my gobbledegook. Thanks.

To put a link into a post, Cods, just open a page at the site in question. Then highlight (left click & drag mouse) the address at the top (in the address bar.)
Right click & COPY.

PASTE this address into the body of the text in your post.

To pick up a link in a post, Highlight, & copy, as above. PASTE the link into the email you want to send.
When you are on a site that you want to share, highlight the web address in the address box - where you see www. Highlight by left click and press 'ctr' and 'c' at the same time. (ctr c is copy)

Then, when you are on your e-mail, press 'ctr' and 'v' at the same time (ctr v is paste). This will then make that address red.

Make sure to include the http:// or https:// at the beginning of the address, and there should be no chars other than spaces immediately before or after it - so don't put a full-stop immediately after the address, for example;

Thanks everyone I've followed your replies ,it all works except it doesn't highlight in RED
On email it may not be highlighted but will be underlined
It should be red when actually posted...

Hi bibblebub in your post you did http:// or https:// in red I've just copy/pasted it and as you see it has come out in black.How did you do it red in the first place?
Question Author
I don't believe it I've just read my own post and its in red.I think I'll shoot myself now
yay codswallop - you've done it :)
It won't appear red until actually posted; it will still be black in the original.
...as I said, 20 mins ago...if only people actually read the answers...
Question Author
gingerbee,your reply was a bit ambiguous,when you said it should be red when posted that sounded like at the start instead of when its received.If you see wot I mean. Thanks.
I don't know if this is correct but when I include a link at the end of a post, unless I press enter/return it will appear in black when sent.
