How do I type a message where I can allow a person to click "Here" rather than typing in the entire url and forcing the reader to copy and paste into their browser?

  Thank you.

  I tried the FOUNDER token

  the url is good, but when I link it using that format and try to access the page by clicking on the link, I get a 404 error.

  Hmm. I tried that first and it gave me another error message. Maybe there was a typo. I shall persevere.

  @kerneloops @wildjo

  Bottom of the page there's a formatting guide, and those work with PM's as well. To do hyperlink

  [type text inside the brackets] (followed by url inside parenthesis)

  edit: no space between brackets and parenthesis

  Wow, thank you for this insight. I wanted to know this also. I have never thought to create a thread for it. I just simply continued to paste the entire URL into the message. I suppose that is easier than typing the URL into the message and having readers copy and paste it. I guess now, I could have always shortened the link and made it a bit easier.

  There is NO shame in asking computer questions you want answered. I honestly cant believe how computer ignorant i was before getting "into" bitcoin...

  I went from barely knowing how to set up my modem and send emails, to knowing how to build computers from scratch.

  I try to learn something new everyday. If you arent getting smarter by moving forward, your getting dumber by standing still.

  @gabriel can anybody tell me how to post comments accompanied by a picture?

  See Inline Images, below.

  You can leave off "logo:"
  And you can leave ""Title"" (if you hate the visually impaired)
  The part that says "ltb.png" should actually be the full URL of the image, starting with "http" and ending with .png or .jpg (etc.).

  You'll know it's working when you scroll down and see it in the live preview.

  Note that you have to have a URL for the picture (if it's no on the net already, you have to upload it to a web host, image site, etc.).
