Good afternoon all... Smiley

I have tried several times and got so frustrated I gave up.

I want to be able to post a link, I hope that is what you call it...those red lines that direct one to another information site.

I am using Vista.

I thought there would be a spot on one of the top toolbars that said "Link" but there is not.
I have the Google and AVG toolbars showing.

When I find a site I want to add to my post I right click on that Homepage and this is what I get:
Open Link
Open Link In New Tab
Open Link In New Window
Save Target As
Print Target

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Could someone "PM" me with a solution and I can save it.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

When the WEB page comes up, highlight the complete Address with the mouse, Right-click, "Copy" it, then "Paste" it into your  Forum Post.

When you Preview your Post after completing it, the address will appear coloured red!

You click on it and it takes you to the Web Page!... Smiley...!

Paul..... Smiley....!

It works the same as copying your Screen shot into your Post!

Like Paul said.
The address normally starts with http:// and ends up like this when you paste to your thread
http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1266268933
copy, write your post and where you want your link you right click, click paste and it won't colourize untill you post message or preview it.  Smiley
PS: I gave up on Bing search engine because when you copy and paste it takes you to the bing search page. Google or yahoo works well.

Hi Steve... Smiley

There are several units on the market right now along with a motion chair and several types of those as well.

Getting off topic a little but I have been in touch with several companies and used units with warranties can also be purchased.
With chair I do believe one is looking at seven thousand American Dollars ($7000.00) and that is all new.

Wonderful tools for someone who loves to fly but has lost their medical or sold their aircraft and one does not need a whole house to host this unit, no special wiring needed at all.
Not sure how long we can maintain our medicals and not going to purchase another twin so these tools are great for someone like myself or the old girl.

What I like about them is they are American FAA and Canada Transport Approved.

Sorry to get off topic folks.   Grin    Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Topics will wander where topics wander. Since this is your thread about links and the mods don't mind.
That setup is a bit expensive, I wish I could afford toys like that. I have a question for you. Have you been able to get the wife to fly your sim? I have been working on my girl for two years now. She likes to look over her shoulder and watch. She always asks me where I am going, but I can't get her to actually try the sim. It would be so nice to fly online together and argue about which way to turn!  Smiley

Goodly Morning all... Smiley

Yes the old girl does get on the simulator however she does it when I am not around as she likes to practice IFR Procedures in the Cessna 172.
I think it would be great if we could get on together but with both of us involved in so much volunteer work there are days we hardly see each other. 
That is about to change as we are passing a lot of stuff off to others, it is time others took the reins.   Wink

What I will tell you is once we move into the Condo from here the aircraft stay here. 
I am signing them over to number one dummy.   Grin
He has no time to fly them either with his military flying and commercial flying plus raising a family the aircraft will be lucky to get in the air twice a month.  Lips Sealed

I will tell you this, the old girl and I are very close to eight decades in years and we have let several flying ratings lapse because our interest has revolved around dropping into bugsmasher flying fields several time a week when the weather is good.
Paying for two medicals each a year is ridiculous and costly so we may just hang up our spurs and slip the surly bonds of earth when we get a chance with one of our family or friends.
That is why we want something more realistic when simulated flying.   Smiley    Wink

Do try to get your old girl involved in whatever you do, along with your children, you will not regret it.  Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

In my enormously oversized family, I am the only one who has any interest whatsoever in Flight Simulators, (or Aircraft in general).... Wink..!

If they see me at the computer with an Aeroplane appearing on the Monitor, they suddenly become extremely bored, and chat amongst themselves, or tap text messages on their Mobile Phones, until I switch it off!.... Grin...!

I don't stand a Cat-in-Hells chance of getting any of them to accompany me in Multiplayer Flight Activity!

Mind you...

I don't suppose that I would be too delighted to join in a computerised Knitting Simulator for the Ladies, or simulated Pony Riding for the Girls, either....

(Knitting reminds me of removing Head Lice, and people die falling off Horses!).... Shocked...!

..so it works both ways!... Roll Eyes...!

Paul.... Wink.... Grin... Grin...!

A genius would write it like this:

Code:
[url=www.google.com]This link direkts to Google[/url]

result: This link direkts to Google

just type
[url=
than the url
]
the name or whatever and close the usl-tag like above...


Looks nicer than just the url - and you can e.g. comment to where the link points...  Wink
