Could someone kindly advise. I know how to send a link in an email but not in a post or a personal message on this forum.
Thanks,
Lernica

I'm sure the nerds on the forum can answer this better than I can

but one way is to copy and paste it out of your address bar into the message/post that you are composing. Do you know how to copy and paste?

I am not entirely sure that I qualify as a nerd

but another way to do it is to use the URL button above the text window whilst you are writing a post. First highlight the text in your post that you want to use as a link, then click the URL button.
Before the text, you will now see a square brackets enclosing "url" and after the text another square brackets enclosing "/url" - in the first set of brackets, type = immediately after url and the paste the url to which you would like to link.
And that's it.

Copy and paste. You have done it before.

Ha! Fooled you, Charlie! I actually typed out the whole URL by hand in that post but I figured there must be an easier way to do it. I'll try copying and pasting the URL next time.
Thanks for your words of wisdom, everyone.
