I need help with linking stuff on this site. Read the details below?

The answer is here.

Put the word(s) that you want to use as a link in quotes, follow the closing quotation mark immediately by a colon, then immediately paste the full URL you’re trying to link to.

@Harp – That’s a colon. :

quote text quote colon url

@Snarp oops! Thanks!

Say wut

Oh. Okay. Thank you.

@Symbeline One set of quotes around the text. Then a colon, then the URL with no quotes.

“Say wut”: URL(which currently has a space in front of it that doesn’t belong.

Results in:

Say wut

Yeah, for some reason I kept putting a – instead of a :

:/

Thank ye kindly

Phew!
Ignore my first two answers above, and use the third.
It was a challenge to thwart Fluther’s automatic URL detector and style editor!

[mod says] @HungryGuy Please designate what you’re trying to link as “NSFW”.

@augustlan – Sorry. I was just trying to give an example how to do it, but Fluther kept turing my example into a link, thus hiding how to do it.

@Symbeline – My email is in my profile. Send me an email, and I’ll explain how to do it, Showing you an example of exactly what you type. It took me a few months before I figured out how to do it. For the longest time, I was, like, how do you type an arrow like that? But it’s pretty simple, actually. The blurb underneath the edit box is misleading, but once you know how to do it, you’ll go “Aha! It says exactly how to do it!”
