Community news blog

tvman, will certainly have a look at that.

Lass is my go to person for technical stuff, she’s computer savvy and very good at explaining things. 
Daloni and Gragon both do links, am a bit of a technophobe myself, it keeps my sons entertained. xx

Here’s the  link TV man - vol 1 to make it easier to find tvmans blog 

Hi KTatHome

Thanks for your help. I had already read it but what I meant was I don't know how to insert a link behind a word or words sure as "here" or"view it here" 

I can do the link behind someone's name to their profile, as above.

I really enjoyed reading your story tvman, thank you for writing it. As a relative ‘newbie’ I have become familiar with your name from your posts, but I was not aware of your story. Your writing also gave a good sense of the feeling of friendship, support and community that yourself and others bring to this forum. It’s a marvellous thing to do. 

Hi tvman, 

I use a tablet most of the time so to put a link in, this is what I do.

i have two tabs open, the first is where I’m going to reply to the post, and the second tab is the place I want to link to. I click on the 2nd and copy the address location at the top, I can then move back to the 1st and paste in the link.

When I do it that way it looks like it does above. If I’m working on a laptop in the reply section near paragraph, picture and bullet point symbols there are more buttons than I have on a tablet. One of which is a link, where you can paste in the link and then below rename how you want it to appear the “view it here” words that you mention. I haven’t got my laptop here at the moment so can’t fully explain but perhaps it’s enough for you to give it a try ? 

I think the others won’t mind you having  a practise by pressing reply. 

When I answered your post last night I was about to go to sleep, I cheated somewhat as one of the other champs asked if I’d put the link in to help you and all I had to do was copy and paste the link they had already done as vol 1. 

Best wishes and well done.

Hi

Thank you so much for replying. It really is as I wrote it, as regards friendship, support and community. I hope to be around for a long time yet, I have a gardening project to finish

Take care Squire

Hi KTatHome

Thanks for the reply. I use my smartphone all the time, but it's not that smart. From my days studying part time for my degree, I remember the "insert link" section. Maybe I should dust down my laptop, but tbh it's quite slow and I can work faster on my smartphone. I mainly use it to keep in touch with the site and my family, then for internet searching.  I have a pretty good tablet so perhaps I'll have a look at that.

Thanks again for your help KT, much appreciated.
