Sometimes people ask: "What on earth were you thinking of, making it so complicated to insert a link into a post?" I usually answer, "I dunno really, I must be a bit thick."
To rectify this sad state of affairs, we've added a new way to insert a simple links to another website (or other bits of mn of course). To do so, just type the full address inside and . So to link to our lovely home page you would type www.mumsnet.com without the spaces, and it would come up as www.mumsnet.com.
The old complicated way still works if you want to display text other than the link itself....
We'll update the Links guide to the right of the message box to reflect this.
