Adding Links To Posts


19&41
 

I am unable to paste a link to a post I am writing.? I can only do so as an inclusion in a reply to a posted topic or message.? I am a group owner and I can find no setting that apparently governs this.? Any help would be appreciated.

Are you attempting to do this from an email client? How about from the groups.io website? Can you give step by step of what you are doing and what email client and web browser(s) you have tried as well as actual and expect results and regressions if any?

Take care

I think a bit more information would help us to help you!

Are you trying to post by email or using the web UI? What happens when you try to post a link but don't succeed?

There also seems to be a contradiction between your first two sentences; the first sentence says you are unable to paste a link, but your second suggests that you can as long as it is a reply to a posted topic or message.

AFAIK there is no "setting" that impacts on the ability to include links in posts.

What are you working on? PC? ?Mobile device?

There’s a “chain link” icon on the toolbar to create a link (if you want the displayed txt different than the URL.)
Or just paste in the URL and hit return.?

Thank you.? I am trying to cut and paste a link as I do for any other site by right clicking the link or url of the desired item and as I compose the post, I usually right click, and press past in the window that opens up.? That choice doesn't come up when I right click on the post.? The attachment Icon above the post area doesn't work either.? I can paste a link on the E-mail posting option, but that won't allow me to post to a initial post in a topic.


 

19 & 41,


I am unable to paste a link to a post I am writing.

If you are working from the group's web pages, use the Insert/edit link button in the formatting toolbar at the top of the message composition window.

There are two options which would remove this button (and most others) from the toolbar. One is if your group has checked the Plain Text Only box in the Message Formatting section of your Settings page. The other is if you have selected an option other than HTML as your Editor Preference on the Preferences page of your account.

I can paste a link on the E-mail posting option, but that won't allow me to post to a initial post in a topic.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding- what dif does it make if it’s your initial email to a new topic? ?

Paste in the url in your new email, hit return, your email app **should** recognize and turn the url into a hotlink.

Send it, voila’ you have a link in your initial post.?

What am I not seeing that you are experiencing?

There was no means to paste the url into the post.? There was no "paste" in the right click window.? It is now working, thanks.


 

There was no means to paste the url into the post. There was no "paste" in the right click window.
I have run into this on various web pages. When there's not a 'paste' button try using ctrl+v . Often I find it almost quicker.

Hallo 1941,

Reading yours below closely, it may be that you missed a step.

After doing a Select , did you miss doing a Copy before doing a Paste ?

OK,
Tony
