Default How do I add a web link to a message

Several times I advise people to check out a specific site. I have not figured out how to add it so you the reader can click and go without typing the address. Other people do it, what do I need to do right?

Thanks for the help,
Mud

Up above the message text area use the first http tag.

Hit on it and you will see the area to insert text and then in the next area that pops up the web site.

send a few personal messages to yourself to play with the link.

Thanks for the tip but you must have to be a supporting member to use any of the message text area. These functions have never worked for me.

Thanks,

Hey muddin, Quick walk through of how do to it.

Right above where you type the post there is a tool bar which has 13 different buttons you can click on and then a drop down menu that has "select Emoticon" showing at the present time. Click on the 4th button on the left, it should say "http" followed by a chain link. A screen should pop up asking you to enter the name of which the link is going too, and then for the link itself. IF you are linking to a secured site, use the HTTPS one...the https stands for hypertext transfer protocol secured, with out the last s the site will not be brought up because asking a browser to find a http://yadda yadda yadda vs a https://yadda is a huge difference. I hope that this has helped.
