Copying URL's (the http and www thingies)

[GregE]

"When I find that site I can't see your http:// information to highlight for cut and paste.  Where do you find that?
"

Look way at the top of this page and you'll see the URL

Click in that box and it will highlight, then use the Cntrl key and C to copy,   place your curser where you want to add the URL llink and Cntrl V to -paste it there.  ( Cntrl X deletes )

If you don't get a highlight by clicking , place the curser on the right end of the URL string and hold the Shift key down and drag the cursor over the string with the mouse left click button held down, then copy/ paste as above.

Easy Squeezee   :biggrin:

Hmmmm, I was gonna start this thread, must have slept thru the process,     ( I wouldn't use 'thingies' in a title )

Thanks Greg ... I followed your instruction and did it.  Now if the grey matter cooperates we'll see if I can duplicate this step in a week or more.

YOu can also use the
Cut
Copy
Paste
functions under the Edit button at the top of the page,  Highlight as described above first.

On an iPad, tap in the address box until "Select All" is displayed, tap "Select All", then tap "Copy" when it appears. 

Now tap the world icon in the icon bar in the "Post Reply" and " {url}{/url} " appears. I substituted curly braces for the square brackets so that the browser software does not convert it to a web address. Sometimes the software is too helpful.  :hoboy:

Tap between the "]" and "[" until "Paste" is available and tap "Paste".  If my fingers are being uncooperative, I just type the "bracket url brackets" part. 

The important thing is to get that html tag surrounding your entire web address. Remember that it can help to magnify the text with the magic finger spread to make it easier to tap the insertion point between the brackets.

Have fun training your fingers to do things nature never intended.  It also helps if you don't see as well as you used to.  :biggrin:
