[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Computer Question

Posted: 7/31/2005 5:41:50 PM EDT

As some people have previously noted, my "Board-Fu" is weak! How do I make a website link work when I post it on the ARFCOM board? I usually cut and paste it to put into whatever thread or reply that I'm writting but when it shows up on the ARFCOM website it won't work when you click on it. I'm sure it's a formatting thing but I'm clueless as how to do it. Secondly how do you submit or post a jpg file picture into a thread?

When you are in the edit window ie post reply do you see the little blue ball with the two linked links below it? Click on that and a second window will pop up. Put the link there. Also preview before you submit it to check to see if the link worked.

= Insert web link

= Insert picture from web

both buttons will prompt you for the required info.
