How do you add a hyperlink on Yahoo answers?

I see from time to time,an asker will put in a link to some picture, or other info on the web. What are the steps to get a link to show on a question asked?

Just type out the FULL URL. (http:\\full web address here). Or better yet, to avoid typing it incorrectly, go to the site(s) and copy the FULL URL and paste in with your question. Make sure the web sites you're sharing relate to a question you are asking, or you could be violating the Community Guidelines.

When can I post active hyperlinks?
Text Size: A A A

Yahoo Answers uses a points and level system based on trust. To protect all of the Answers community against malicious links and spam, the ability to post active hyperlinks is only earned once an account reaches Level 2.

URLs will still be visible when posted by Level 1 users but will not be active. To visit a URL posted by a Level 1 user it will be necessary to take the action of copying and pasting the URL into your browser. You should only take this action if you are certain the URL is safe and not a security threat to your computer.

In order to cut spam to post a hyperlink to photo bucket, Flickr or any other site you must be at least on the 2nd level, at least 250 points. When you reach that level: Left click on the URL to highlight it then right click and from the drop down menu left click on copy then go to where you want to put the URL, right click and from the drop down menu left click paste then double space.

Yes that is right, you have to be at least level 2 for link to work in your answers. It's pretty easy to get up to level 2 since there are a lot of questions to answer.
