Here is a little lesson on how to add links to a post.
For example, I will type a URL, with no formatting done to it, just the URL:
http://www.blavatsky.net As you can see, the link created itself automatically.
Let's try it in a sentence:
I went to
http://www.blavatsky.net yesterday.
Again, the link created itself with no problem.
Now, I will type the URL with a period right after it:
I went to
http://www.blavatsky.net.
The forum software was able to separate the period away from the link.
How about using a question mark:
Did you go to
http://www.blavatsky.net?
Again, the froum software splil the link off from the question mark.
Now, let's practice using the http:// button at the top of the Compose Post window.
Click on the http:// button. A new window will pop up. Inside the window, the letters http:// will already appear. I type in www.blavatsky.net into that window (Do not erase the http:// during this process.) Hit the OK button. A new window will then pop up. Inside it it will say My Webpage. I erase the words My Webpage, and type in Blavatsky Net.
Here is the result:
Blavatsky Net~~~
If you wish the link to appear letter for letter, just type it in (http....).
IF you want the link to appear with a title superimposed on top of it (the www.blavatsky.net link is hidden under the words "Blavatsky Net") then use the http:// button.
