Adding Links

[paul1763]

i notice when lots people answer Qs on this site they add links to other sites or links to you tube videos, can any of you computer savvy people tell me how this is done in simple step by step terms, thanks

[rockyracoon]

For Youtube videos, just copy the web address and paste into the box just above where you write your question, it says 'Enter Youtube link here'. For other links, just do the same except paste in with your question/comments and not into the Youtube box.

You highlight and copy the URL whic is the top line on the computer and address of the site and paste it into the answer box

I'm wondering if Paul knows how to copy & paste. Paul at the risk of sounding patronising, do you know how?

[paul1763]

[rockyracoon]

Are you using a computer or iPad/tablet

ok. move cursor to item you want to copy and left click mouse, which will highlight it. right click and choose the copy option. click on it. Go to where you want to put this and right click. choose the paste option. click on it. Done

[grasscarp]

there are also tutorials on you tube on how to do these things

Go to the URL bar when the page is open for the item you want to copy (address starts http:// ) right click on it, select Copy, then go to where you want to paste it, right click, and choose Paste.
