Sunbear has suggested the first post of a new topic in this forum should contain a link (or the url) for the Mailbag item that it refers to. I think that’s a great idea, and would like to encourage everyone to do that… makes it helpful for the reader, to have the direct link to whatever is being discussed.
I confess to being computer inept, but you post a link by typing:
{url}http://www.whatever{/url}
EXCEPT: replace the curly brackets { } with square brackets [ ]. And, of course, “whatever” means the site-identification-info.
For instance, if I type:
{url}http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mreeves.html{/url} but use square brackets instead of curly brackets, I get:
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mreeves.html
which links to the Superman Suicide question.
