Posting a forum link to an email
Posted by namrednef on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 12:24 PM

 

I use Mozilla/Firefox and it's touchy about links. How would I go about putting a forum link into an email?

Thanks!

You should be able to simply copy the URL and paste it into the body text of your e-mail.

What Kelly said, however right click copy and paste doesn't work with Firefox, or at least many versions of FF (including mine). The keyboard shortcuts "Ctrl-C" and "Ctrl-V" do the same thing.

That's for regular email, if you are using the FSM Forum email they won't be "hot" links until you put them through the "insert/edit link" function (chain icon above). Paste the forum URL and click on Insert.

So long folks!

Thanks Kelly and Bill,

I do have the Firefox troubles that Bill mentioned and I'll try that fix!

Thanks again!

David I have Firefox also and have to do the same things.  The ctrl v and c work very well.

You have to highlight the block of text you wish to make "clickable" before the "link"  icons become selectable.
