Making a website link live

Have you tried just typing the web site address on here? If I type in, say,

www.visitscotland.com 

the link immediately becomes live without doing anything else.

I also use the link system without problems (most of the time!)  but it might be android that works better? I'm on my laptop at the moment, so on another system.

I will give it a go brue, but some of addresses are very long! Thanks.

www.yorkshire.com

Nope, didn't work. This website doesn't like Apple devices, could be that.

Don't have tablet with me. Basically click on URL addy. Copy.

Then in post click on link button. When pop up comes up paste the address in.

Preferably click in the 'Open in New Window box and select yeas. Then click OK

That's what I am doing ET. Bring up webpage, click on URL, choose "copy" then on CC post, click until "paste" appears, then click paste.

Works on every other website I use but not this one. Think it is to do with iPad and this website, they just don't get on!

Yerbutt to paste as a link you do not simply paste into reply box. You click on the link symbol above the reply box. Are you doing that TDA? 

Just tried it ET, has worked this time. Thank you, will see how I get on. 

Use the 'chain link' in the menu above your post in the compose box as ET says, when the box pops up paste the long address in there.

Or in your compose write <LINK HERE>, highlight it and then go to the above 'chain link' in the menu and past it there. The <LINK HERE> will become your shortcut then.

EDIT: OK, all sorted before my slow typing
