Ok, so after recently trying to post an autotrader link and failing I thought I should ask, how do I do it? Also how do I shorten a link? I've tried using the search function and got nowhere and when I try to use the add hyperlink button it doesn't actually do anyhting. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |

whats the problem - is it that the link doesn't post (too long or whatever) here or that the nature of the link doesn't like being copied, etc. You can use http://tinyurl.com/ - tinyurl.com to make long links short if thats any help. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

The problem is if I simply cut and paste the web address into the post it doesn't work. If I use the insert hyperlink box and then click ok nothing gets put into the post So for example Iopen the insert hyperlink box. I type in http://www.autotrader.co.uk then click ok and nothing happens. I have psoted autotrader links on other forums without any problems simply by copying the whole, very long, address into the post and it works fine. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |
