YANBU. It is so much easier then it used to be.

How does one link from an iPhone, or other mobile which doesn't cut and paste?

do piss off.

thumbwitch · 27/02/2011 14:05

Yes YABU and very rude. Admittedly it's not really very hard and the instructions are all there next to the posting box - but still you are being VERY RUDE.

comewhinewithme · 27/02/2011 14:05

Did I do it right?

LadyOfTheManor · 27/02/2011 14:06

Ha ha ComeWhine Grin fab job!

Tortington · 27/02/2011 14:07

glamour you simply copy the link from a new page on your puter screen

eg

www.mumsnet.com/

if when you pasted it it has the extra forward slash at the end, delete it so

www.mumsnet.com

then if you add the square brackets it becomes a link

so

www.mumsnet.com

if you want to write something other than the web address to inform people of the link, you simply leave a space between the web address and what you would like the link to be called

so

www.mumsnet.com here is mumsnet and i wear big knickers

with the brackets

here is mumsnet and i wear big knickers

at comewhinewithme! Grin

Have a for good measure

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 27/02/2011 14:08

I still think the old way is easier (and use that)

\link{copy and paste the link you want/what you want it to say}

thumbwitch · 27/02/2011 14:08

does that still work, Baroque?

Rannaldini · 27/02/2011 14:09

read instructions
carry out instructions

no problem, is it?

YANBU

board should have a test to get on it

elmofan · 27/02/2011 14:09

YABU

comewhinewithme I have only recently learned how to do links but could you please tell how you wrote
"your own words on that link IYKWIM Confused
as in " did i do it right" looking like a link .

meditrina · 27/02/2011 14:09

Custardo: and how can it be done from a mobile without cut and paste?

It's OK if it's a short intuitive name that you can remember to fettle, but not possible if it's too long for the display.

Anyone?

You could teach us?

Elmo Custardo explains how to do it a couple of posts up. :)

nikki1978 · 27/02/2011 14:11
