Not sure if this has been posted previously - but in case it hasn't, here it is. This is a good list of freebies and I find Gizmo reliable. :click_here:

That's ok fairlopgirl we all had to learn. The easiest way to do it is to just copy and paste the url . Like this:

I knew you could do it..........just need those ever popular step-by-step instructions like me. So many times people that know how to do certain things forget that the learners need extra. If you want to learn how to do it like Broni and some of the other do it with just typing a word (HERE or word of your choosing), I'll post that for you also.

Attached Image: forget_think.jpg Thanks - I knew to copy/paste but if I don't do it for a while -- I forget how!! I forgot to close the tags on one message - but I did remember it on another!

Yes, I would be interested to learn how Broni and others post 'here'.

I find the computer fascinating - but there is so much to learn. I am glad I've found this forum which I try to read every day. Attached Image: thank_you_smiley.gif :happy_dancing:

Hi fairlopgirl do not be shy it took me a few tries before I caught on .I hope this helps. do not be shy to ask if you need more help.

Here is how I do it hope it helps. maybe not like the pros .
When you have the link you want to put in the post click on http:// which is code buttons on the top.,then a box will pop up then paste the URL there or you can use
ctrl+v =paste. click ok.
Then another box will pop up then type in HERE or whatever you want click ok.

To check to see if you did it correctly click at bottom preview post, before posting it.
If you need more help do not be shy lots of good folks here will give you a hand.
:oh_Canada: :good_luck: :happy_dancing:
:beers:

The 46 Best-Ever Freeware Utilities"

Fred, Here's an excellent list of free utilities-

---Jeff Partridge

Thanks, Jeff!

Lists like that are always subjective, but always fun to browse. Long-
time readers will recognize many of the items on that list, but there
are some that were totally new to me, and may be nice finds for others
too. Cool!

fairlopgirl, there is another way to do the same thing.
On the lower left hand side just below the "clickable smilies" is (Show All


Check Post Length · BB Code Help) Click the BB Code Help! Click the "BB Code Help' and either the sixth or seventh item will work. Se screen shot.......

Glad you tried... I sometimes have a mistake also. But by going back and hitting the edit button and making sure I did it right and correct the issue. sometimes instead of [ I put { or forget the slash / at the end [/url] practice makes for improvement....
