I still can't do blued links onto Gransnet.

Could somebody give me an idiot's guide please?

Petallus you now don't have to do anything but copy the link in, it is all automatic.

I just copied that link, and pasted it in to the message and hit "Post Message".

If you want to do the fancy bit where the link is hidden, but the word that refers to it is blue, that takes a bit more effort, but why bother? smile

Once you've got the website you want to post a link to on your screen, right-click the box at the top lhs showing the address and left-click 'copy'.

When you want to add the link to your post, left-click your mouse and choose 'paste'.

If you don't use a mouse, I can't help!

oh it did!

So it's just a question of how to have one webpage kept open whilst opening a second.
