Hi Ness,

just type in the link as part of your text.

a www.rootschat.com will automatically be recognised as a link.

If the link has no www., then you must type http:// before the rest of the link, then it will also be automatically recognised i.e. http://surname.rootschat.com

Another way is to mark and copy the address if the site, in the browser address window and just paste that into your reply. This works bestter when you have two browser windows open, or tabbed browsing.

make sure there is a blank or a new line before the start of the link:

i.e.  www.rootschat.com works but this linkwww.rootschat.com doesn't.

good luck,
Bob
