Two useful bits of info about posting links

1) If you want to post a link but don't know how / can't be bothered to use the proper code, simply use the full URL (i.e. make sure your link starts with http:// ) and the board software will recognise the link and make it clickable automatically.

2) If you use Firefox, there is a great extension called Linkification that will turn any text on a page that looks like a link or email address into a clickable link. I've been using this for a few days now and it's particularly great on forums, where people often post non-clickable links. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/190/

Hope this is useful to people...

Cheers,
Matt.

OK

Simplest way:

Click the little icon above where you're writing your post that looks like this then paste the FULL address (starting with http://) of the image you want to post into the little dialog that pops up.

Rinse and repeat as necessary (as they say).

Alternatively use the [ img ] and [ /img ] tags (without the spaces) either side of the FULL URL of the image you want to post.
