Posting A "link"

[pollyestr2]

Steph: If I am asked to "post a link" to an ebay listing - is there a tutorial somewhere in this Forum for doing it? I know I've posted things that you've turned into a link and I think I should attempt it myself if there are directions.

Thanks, Nancy

That's something for us to consider.

Most addresses are turned into links automatically.

Supposedly when you paste the website address into your post, it turns into a link automatically when you submit the post. The address needs to start with http though, not www.

There is a button in the panel at the top of the reply window which can add the http part if your address doesn't come with it already.

When I look at the ebay page, I don't see an http. But when I copy the address from there and paste it here, the http magically appears at the beginning for me.

Do you do that? Copy the address from your ebay auction and then paste it here? And then does it not turn into a link automatically when you submit the post?

Experiment here and let me know.

go to the address bar when you are in ebay, click in the address bar so you see some blue. If the whole address is highlighted hold the ctrl key down and then the C. This will copy the address. if only partially highlighted click , ctrl and the A key then ctrl C . then just go to your post at MC click once in your post then click ctrl and the V key . Thats it, good luck

It looks like it works!! So simple when you have good guidance - thanks Steph and Galen. I'll wait till morning when I'm fresh and play with it some more.
