A lot of people are having trouble with creating clickable links; a lot of them dont work. so ive taken the time to create a guide to make working clickable links

IF YOU ARE USING THE NON FANCY GUI EDITOR

step 1: copy the link that you want. i have used google here. highlight the url, and copy


step 2: paste the link into the reply body, and reply


step 3: reply and enjoy your clickable link








IF YOU ARE USING THE FANCY GUI EDITOR
step 1: copy the link that you want. i have used google here. highlight the url, and copy


step 2: click the button that looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it. this will open up a new window, seen in step 3


step 3: paste the link into the bar, but without the http://. you can paste the link and use the backspace button to delete the http://, or you can just copy the link without the http://. THIS IS IMPORTANT


step 4: click Go, and the window will disappear. go back to the reply page. there should be one http:// in the link and the link should be blue


step 5: reply and enjoy your clickable link












THIS IS WHAT NOT TO DO IF YOU ARE USING THE FANCY GUI EDITOR

DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE OUT THE http:// IN THE LINK THAT YOU PASTE INTO THE BAR


IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS IN THE REPLY BOX


IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS IN THE THREAD


WHEN YOU TRY TO CLICK IT IT WILL NOT WORK










DO NOT FORGET TO CLICK THE LINK BUTTON-- IN THE FANCY GUI EDITOR, PASTING THE LINK DIRECTLY INTO THE REPLY BOX WILL NOT WORK. THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE REPLY BOX


THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE THREAD


THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE AFTER YOU CLICK IT IN THE THREAD-THIS LINK WAS NOT CLICKABLE





i hope this reduces the amount of nonclickable and nonworking clickable links, enjoy!
