July 24, 2009, 11:55 PMYeah, I know how to make links, and yes, you are right. This is ugly. I will try to figure out an easier way. Actually, another guy sent a script that I will see if I can use. The problem is, I don't want to spend too much time on making a pretty format at the expense of studying. Right now I just use the clipboard function in Word, and this way it is all over relatively quickly. I know your way is easy, but after repeating the process over and over it will quickly add to the time. I will give your way a shot (and the other guys.), though. I might change my mind.

July 24, 2009, 11:26 PMThis is a nice post Phil and a neat idea for a group.
I have one suggestion though. I think you should use part of your text as the link to the nciku definition, rather than just putting the link at the bottom, (to be copied and pasted?) That way as well as looking neater, the relevant page can be visited with a single click of the mouse.
It's quite easy to do. When you're making your post first select the text you want to use as a link. Then click on the little chain icon 4th from the right at the top right hand corner of the posting box. Copy the web address into the correct box, click insert, and it's done!
