Posting links to websites

[Marine Cpl]

No matter what I do, I cannot post a link to a website. I have tried posting a link via the link button and also directly without the link button in the post itself.

Nothing happens. All I get is blank space. When I try to edit it, it says media.

All you have to do is post the URL, it will post. I think the issue with your SHTF post was that you posted an amazon link and I bet you are running an ad-blocker. If you are, whitelist the domain. It picked it up as an amazon ad because it embedded the product into the post.

The link still comes up as a picture. That's weird. I figured it would come up as a hot link.

If it's an amazon link, it will show the picture and the title. Amazon links are embedded into the thread, similar to YouTube.

When I post a link to an article it just shows the actual link. On NYF, it used to show the actual article title which I would think would be preferred. Can this be done here?

Type the words you want to be a hyperlink. Highlight them. In the format bar click "Link." Paste the URL.

Not as streamlined, but it works.

Thanks man but I'm too lazy.
