Posting links reminder
« on: June 17, 2015, 12:51:22 AM »
When posting links with this forum software, they are not clickable unless you use the link button shown in the photo.

Highlight your URL then click on the button as shown. (it's the second button on the bottom row)

Here is a sample of a good link http://nutcracker123.com/nutcracker/releases/

and a bad link  http://nutcracker123.com/nutcracker/releases/

Regards,
Steve

Thanks Steve, I for one am glad you posted this.  It has been one of my pet peeves when folks don't bother to make the items a clickable link.

It doesn't bother me too much Jim, I use Chrome and can right-click and goto. When I see others say the link doesn't work then I stepped up.
