A common problem in using the "blickifier" or link-maker is failure to include the ENTIRE web address. You can follow the intructions completely and perfectly in every other manner, but if you type in "www.domainname.com," it won't work ~ you have to include the "http" prefix along with everything else.

It's best to bring up the site you want to link to (ideally, in a separate browser window), highlight the entire address line, copy it, and then paste it into the blickifier. Don't even try to retype the address ~ always copy-and-paste.

This method works for any Mudcat thread or post as well as for any "outside" page. If you have your cursor positioned in the body of any posting within a thread (except the first one), the complete web address will include a number that indicates that message, so the link will bring up that particular message. If the cursor is positioned in the first posting when you make your link, the link will bring up the top of the thread.
