   Stien,

   It's really easy to post a link....all you do is type it in... http://www.rivetsinstock.com/rivet28  

   it automatically turns blue if it is preceeded and followed by a space...

   It does say there is no page however.

   Hi BG.  Copy/paste is much safer for copying URL's since "close" doesn't count.  Unfortunately, Ed hasn't gotten the copy/paste thing down yet.  I'll have to "stop by" his house some day and show him the technique!  LOL.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the  "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)

   I'll simplify it for you, Ed. 

   Make what you want to copy blue (highlight it with the mouse)

   Hit Control+c      or       Right-click and select copy

   Go to where you want to paste it in (e.g., your email, or the composition box here at Knots) and hit  Contrl+v    or     right-click and select paste

   When it comes to the URL of a web site, same thing, just make it blue in the address box of the web page, and copy it

   No need to "find" Windows clipboard.  When you copy/paste, it all takes place in the background without the clipboard needing to be open

   A small caveat:  The Knots text box composition-thingie doesn't always behave the way it's supposed to with the copy/paste thing.  Don't get discouraged if it acts funny.  Use the control+ commands to be sure.

   When you copy a URL, be sure to have a space before and after it (in other words, don't put a comma or a period after it).forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the  "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)

   There's 2 other easier (and more accurate) ways to copy/paste the link.

   Here's the copy part:

   Method 1 - copying from an item in your Favorites list without actually being on the webpage you're copying the link to (you can do this while still on the Knots forum page).

        Right click on the item in the Favorites list, then pick 'Properties' from the context window. When the dialog box opens, the URL should already be highlighted as if you manually selected it with the mouse. Hit Ctrl+C (old style keystrokes Ctrl+Insert still work too). The highlighted URL is now in the clipboard.

   Method 2 - copying the URL from a webpage you're actually viewing.

       Easiest way: Right click in the 'Address' field of the browser window. The URL will become highlighted and a context menu will pop up. Pick Copy from the popup menu.

      Easy way:  Left click in the 'Address' field of the browser window. The URL will become highlighted. You can either pick 'Edit then Copy' from the browser menu or hit Ctrl+C (old style keystrokes Ctrl+Insert still work too).

   For either method 1 or 2, the highlighted URL is now in the clipboard. As long as you don't copy another item into the clipboard, the URL will remain there while you navigate to the Knots post (if you're using method 2) that you want to paste the link into.

   Here's the paste part:

        Place your cursor at the point in the post where you want the link to appear. You can either pick 'Edit then Paste' from the browser menu, right click your mouse at the cursor and pick Paste from the popup context menu,  or hit Ctrl+V (old style keystrokes Shift+Insert still work too).

   But this IS windoze after all, so I'm sure there are 25 other ways to do it too.

    I love the smell of sawdust in the morning.

   Thanks for your response! Looks like they have what I'm looking for.

   Enjoy your winter back there. It's mid 60's in San Francisco!

   Dale, you might want to find a suitable punch to drive in the pins without denting up the brass heads. Maybe pre drill the holes? Maybe use a nylon hammer? In their tool section,they show two punches; one to the right looks like it has an 'Underdome' point???

   Lee Valley sells them, as do several other catalogs.   Unless you're more courageous than I about swinging a hammer near glass, get the spring-loaded punch which pushes the brad into the wood.   They're less than $10, and bring much peace of mind.
