Thanks Bob_VT. I'll try that right now.
Sorry, I'm still not getting it. I opened my thread, right clicked the mouse on the title at the top, and the 'paste' is faded out, as are all the other choices except for 'select all', and 'inspect element'. When you say "go to the post" may be where I'm blowing it. I also found the post in the forums section, right clicked on it, and in the big list of options the 'copy' choice was faded.
I also just highlighted it and copied and pasted, but it doesn't come out as a link, or at least it doesn't look like a clickable link to me. Here it is,
~~1979 26' Commander gas & H2O tank replacement & ?
I'm probably missing something really stupid. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
