How to post links to other sites
I want to post a link to another site to show a vintage quilt, but not sure how to do it. Didn't know where to look on the Quilting Board for info. I tried the help section, but didn't find any info there.
Thanks

When you are typing your message, put in the website address, either manually typed or copied/pasted. You should see a toolbar above the message section with the world icon (actually 2 of them 1 with a red 'x' and one without). Highlight the web address and click on the world icon without the 'x'. That will make a link to the site.

And here is a link to the Board's Help Center, which is listed on the home page.

I didn't see those icons when I was posting my question, so please tell me how to change settings. Thank you. I did find the help page, but didn't find a post on how to link. Maybe I didn't phrase it right.

I did it first and it just showed as a long string that wasn't linkable. Once I hit the world icon a little box showed up and I pasted in there and that made it linkable. So glad to know that as I have tried to link in the past and never could find out how to do it. I am surprised that the setting info isn't in the help section, or I missed it.
