How to put a web link in a posting?
 

I've read the Forum How-To's, the forum directions, & the Do Not Post anything thread and I cannot find an entry telling how to enter a link to a website into a posting.
I'm talking about something like "Funny Article" (in blue?) instead of www.http//xxxxxxxxx.xxx.
Can anyone direct me to the correct part of the forum?
Thanks for any help with this.

Check this out - it should provide you the answer you're looking for:

Talk of The Villages - BB Code List

Then scroll down to "URL Hyperlinking".

Hi TV-4-2,
Welcome to the forum. It's not hard to post a link. Here's how.

In the window that opens for you to type a post, there are various buttons above the window you type in and below the window where you could add a title. On this forum, the 11th button from the left on the second row is used to insert a link. The button looks like a globe of earth with a paperclip underneath.

All you have to do is click the link button and type into the window it opens the web address you want to link.

A better option, to make sure you don't type the web address incorrectly, is to open the web page you want to link in another tab; copy the web address and paste it into the link button's dialogue box.

Let me know if this helped.

Bill,
Thanks for the link(s). Lots of information there.

Yep, this looks like the way I'd like to do it. I will try it soon.
Thank you very much for taking the time to explain it in detail (I need it! ;))
