Highlighting

[codswallop]

I asked this question many moons ago but can't find the reply.When I ask a question and someone replies by giving a web address highlighted in red (I know this is put technically wrong) as part of his post answer.How is this done and how can I forward this info in an email? 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

[AlwaysConfused]

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?

[codswallop]

I don't believe it I've just read my own post and its in red.I think I'll shoot myself now

[AlwaysConfused]

yay codswallop - you've done it :)

It won't appear red until actually posted; it will still be black in the original.

[gingejbee]

...as I said, 20 mins ago...if only people actually read the answers...

[codswallop]

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.

[BlackadderV]

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.
