here's how you post a link as an underlined link, like this

STEP ONE

Start a new message, and type your text just like this. Now, when you want to have an underlined link to a website appear in your message as you're typing, switch to the browser window that has that link active, and highlight then copy the entire url from your browser's address bar

STEP TWO

Switch back to the dgrin window, and position your cursor where you want the link to be

STEP THREE

Click with your mouse on the blue circle / paperclip icon (circled in red here)

STEP FOUR

A little window pops up, into which you first type the text you want to appear underlined (it's the description of the link or website, it's whatever you want to type) and press enter

STEP FIVE

A second window pops up, into which you paste the url of the link you copied from the other window

andy williams' website

STEP SIX

Continue your message, you're done. Simple, eh :thumb

    Thank you Andy, I will copy that. I am sure others will be pleased also.
    I hate to be the one to ask this, and I am sorry, but......

    could you please tell me what and where a browser window is.

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate your taking the time to
    do this.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    That sounds very complicated for what is a very simple process.

    1. Copy the URL into your copy buffer (highlight then ctl-c on either Macs or PCs)

    2 highlight the text here

    3. click createlink.gif and when the window pops up, ctl-v

    well, charles, it is easy in the first place, but there were a few folks who specifically asked for the step by step :D thanks for the short-short cut!
