Hello! New to the "new DU". How does the link work?

I have been on DU since 2006 as "SteveM" and "SteveW," but a new computer and a new account gets me past go without collecting $200 or retaining 10,000+ posts! Been having trouble with the link, and don't know how it works. Thanks in advance.

3. You can copy & paste a URL into your message...

Or you can highlight a word in your post and click the "link" button above the message window, and enter the URL there.

Like this.

I bought a "re-conditioned" Dale Latitude D620 with Libreoffice. Nothing but problems with dropping off wifi (found a partial fix), spell check not working (until I discovered another partial fix on the I-net). And now this. Too old for this, and never learned computers at young enough age -- absolutely no bg or intuition on these things.
