    Having just read a post by a long time forum member who said he didn't know how to add a link into a post, your always helpful Moderator thought he would put up a short pictorial showing how.

    In the example below, I will link to The Shave Den Store.

    First type out the text in the reply box:
    [​IMG]

    Next, click and hold the left mouse button, and drag it over the text to highlight the words you want to link to:
    [​IMG]

    Doing this will cause the Insert/Edit link button to become active, click on it:
    [​IMG]

    Doing that will bring up the Insert Link dialog box, paste or type in the website address you would like to link to, after you have the address in place, click the insert button:
    [​IMG]

    Now you are done, the text you had highlighted turns to red to show an active link:
    [​IMG]


    There you have it, now all you have to do is click the Post Reply button and your post will include a live link for members to click on.



    Oh oh, what if I made a mistake?

    Now if for some reason or another, you decide you no longer want the link in the text, just click anywhere in the red colored text and the unlink button becomes active, clicking on that will remove the link you had added:
