    YA Links:

    You have to be pass Level 1 to have clickable links on YA.

    Three ways to put a link here:

    1) From the browser's address field, click inside the field, press Ctrl + A if it doesn't turn to your highlight color, then press Ctrl + C to copy. Return to your post and click inside textbox area. Then press Ctrl + V to paste link.

    2) If getting link from a page link, right-click on the link and select "Copy Link Location (may be worded differently depending on browser). Repeat part to paste in post.

    3) Type a link directly. Links are preceeded by "http://"/

    http://answers.yahoo.com/

    Always include the "/" at the end. Saves a referral call. Some sites are filtered by YA and will not be allowed.

    Level 2 is the only ones who can put up links.

    For your link to be clickable you have to be at level 2 (if i'm not mistaken) that means you need to have 250 points or more to be able to put a clickable links.

    Does the link have http:// in front of it? That always works for me.
