No such thing as a dumb question? Sure there is!

And it's mine...Sometimes when I copy part of an article to a thread or post, it includes a link in the text. When I paste, the link is not highlighted. (I put [] around website. Should I do that for the links, too?)

Also, how do you get a long URL address reduced to just the word 'link' or 'here'.

Thanks a bunch!

1. Not stupid

Not quite sure what you mean the link is not highlighted. Is the link actually a valid URL/URI?

For the second question:
replace the parens with angle brackets
(link:www.someplace.com/someridiculouslylong-url?youknow%20what%20I%20mean.htm|here)

Note the lack of "http://"

2. Here is example for Question 1

On the web site, 'House GOP May Change Leadership Rules' is highlighted as a link. How do I highlight it in my post?




The Red States' party is completely running roughshod over the laws of the land. And there's no one - NO ONE - who can stop them. They know something here, and they're preparing for it. If there's ANY conscience left in the Republican Party, they better act now and reject this insanity. I'm not holding my breath.

To all those who prayed for this to happen - the hijacking of our government by the radical right - you better reap the same screwjob the rest of us will get. This is an outrage.

3. You will have to do it in two stages

First, copy the text of the article itself and paste it.

Then, go to the link on the source page you are copying from, right click and select copy shortcut. Then paste that over the plain text that was previously pasted.
