To include a link in your post, copy the link to your clipboard and paste it as you are composing your post.

With most browsers, use CTRL-C to copy it and CTRL-V to paste it.

In any forum post on the site, you can also right-click on "permalink" at the bottom, then click on "copy link" in the window that opens.

If it's a link from another page here on the site, the easiest way is to open another instance of your browser, navigate to the page you wish to link, right-click in the browser address window, select "COPY" in the drop-down menu, and then switch to the browser window where you are composing your post and CTRL-V the link to paste it.

Links that refer to dslreports.com are treated differently, and the domain name is stripped. If the link is a common one, a full name is substituted:

»/aboutdsl
»DSL FAQ
»Re: Posting How To - Examples
»Security

They will still work normally. If the link is an FAQ entry or another topic in the forums, the TITLE of the FAQ entry or forum topic is automatically included.

When you paste the link, it will appear in full, but when you post it, it will appear truncated. That's OK ... it's all there when someone clicks on it.
