So there’s no line for subject within the thread on the page where you start a new thread 'cause it’s used to title the whole thread… ---

Why couldn’t I get my URLs to work? I’ve posted many URLs in my messages before and this is the first time I’ve had any problems. I composed my message in Word and then copied it to the message box in the browser window. My post had four URLs, as you see in the above message, but only the last one would post. I was finally able to get them to work by switching to the automatic-style URL and then switching back, typing the information by hand. There has to be a better way. Any help would be appreciated. ---

It’s the quotes (as in these " ") that are included in the links. If you look at them with the _reply with quote_ function you’ll see that they are not the usual ones. Also if you just hover your cursor over the link that you posted that didn’t work you’ll see that the " "'s are replaced with lines . And I going to try to get this right this time.

[Secular Humanism Website](http://www.secularhumanism.org) Secular Humanism Website Copied and pasted your links . The one on the bottom has the different quotes I was talking about . It’s the only difference I can see. I don’t have a clue about fonts and such but I reckon your problem lies in that area. Maybe somebody more techy than me ( that wouldn’t be hard BTW ) will give you a full explanation. ---

You’re right. I didn’t even notice the difference in font. That must be it. Seems a little strange that there are two different fonts for quotation marks but only one font for everything else. Thanks. I’m sure this will save me a lot of work in the future. ---
