to expect posters to learn how to link properly?

[MmeLindor.]

It is really easy.

OPTION 1
just write the URL*and tick the little box at the bottom of posting box that says, "Convert links automatically"

www.mumsnet.com

OPTION 2

put before the URL* then leave a space, then write the word that you would like to appear then close with

so [°[°mumsnet . com Look at this on Mumsnet]° ] (without the °)

Look at this on Mumsnet

It makes it much easier when I can just click and follow a link without having to C&P.

And no, I have nothing better to worry about and yes, I know this is petty. And yes, I did preview this to make sure my links were working or this would have been embarrassing.

*an URL is the webpage address, such as www.mumsnet.com or www.linkingiseasy.co.uk
