Mrs Skoob just had a go at posting links. It gets really frustrating when you're using Vista.

Sorry about all this

Skoob

Hi Mr & Mrs Skoob,

Not sure how you did the link, but you can't just paste it in. The link thing is different depending on your browser.

If you use Internet Explorer you can usually do it like this.

1 Go to the page you want to link to. Select the address from the box at the top of the screen by clicking on it once. Now right click on it and click on COPY.

2 Now go into the Add new message page in theSpoof. Click on the Link button at the top of the message box.

3 You will probably get a message at the top saying 'This website is using a scripted window...' and a pop-up box saying 'OK or Cancel' - Press CANCEL.

4 Now click on the top message (this window is using a scripted window...) and click on TEMPORARILY ALLOW SCRIPTED WINDOWS.

5 Now click on link again and this time it will work.

6 It will ask you for the URL. Right click on the box and click on PASTE. The address should appear in the box. Click OK.

7 Now it will ask for the text - just type in what you want it to say in the text and click OK.

8 Finally it asks whether you want it to open a new window or not - choose what's most suitable - probably a new window - and click OK.

9 Shazzam - it sticks the code into your message.

I know it sounds like loads of work, but once you get it to work it becomes second nature. The first bit is to get around the Browser's security for this link without making the system insecure.

Hope this helps
All the best
Roy.

Thanks very much for the walk through Roy. Much appreciated.

I'll try it later.

Best Regards

That was the best explanation an idiot like myself has read on this topic. And I understand it.

Thank you.

I'm actually being serious. Thank you.

Skoob, follow what the Roy man says.

I'm just plain dumb. So dumb I'm out of printer ink so I had to write it down longhand. And so dumb I'll have to get Mrs Skoob to try it out for me before I even go there.

Aspartame Boy, J-Man if I recall rightly, also tried to walk me through this.

Thanks to all for your help.

Although you'll probably regret it when I start posting hundreds of idiotic links.

Yours Truly

Others have tried to talk me through it too.

But this time I understood it.
