after selecting the text you want to copy/paste, hit CTRL+C , then move mouse pointer to were you want to paste into and hit CTRL-V
Hope this helps...

ooopps, you want to copy the URL, in that case highlight the URL link and then make sure you copy it on your website, you may need "html" text around it, hard to say without having more detail on your webpage design ...

OK, I looked at your page source and here is the problem, your html text around the link does not look right:
You have:
<br><br>http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=630890
you need:

<br><br><a href="http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=630890">http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=630890</a>

that should fix it

Fun2come is right. I haven't look at your source, but here is a quick and simple breakdown of the HTML code:

The <a> tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another. The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which indicates the link’s destination.

So you start the link code by opening it with the <a href=

Next you need the link destination: "http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=630890"
NOTE: this text needs to be surrounded by quote marks as indicated above. Then you simple close the link destination with the > symbol.

Next you will notice the same http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=630890 followed by </a>. The </a> is simply stating that you are closing the code for the destination link. The wording before the </a> and after the destination link that ends with > can actually say anything, like CLICK HERE. Then when it displays the HTML it will be a link that reads CLICK HERE but it will take you to the page when you click on it.

The <br> tag inserts a single line break or <br> tag is an empty tag which means that it has no end tag.

I know, my techie brain can be boring sometimes, but Monica Austin likes that. :-)

Here's an example of what the CLICK HERE will look like if done as stated above: (I think it will display properly here)

THIS IS THE CODE:
<a href="http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=630890">CLICK HERE</a>

THIS IS HOW IT WILL APPEAR:
CLICK HERE
