Like 9 explained, it's a little trickier to post links here in comparison to IMDb where you would simple bookend a link with and .
For me when I first learned how to post links on this site I found it to be a bit confusing as even when I posted the URL first and then the link second to make it clickable as 9 mentions--for example when I did this for a YouTube video, the link would open YouTube's home page instead of the individual video I wanted the link to open up. So to avoid such confusion I would simply post the URL for the video twice just like this (don't forget to use quotation marks around the first URL as well as the > symbol between the two URLs:
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61NQVmyCTxw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61NQVmyCTxw
while bookending these URLs with the letters and symbols in the exact order that 9 mentioned in his comment, which will then become this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61NQVmyCTxw
Sorry if this message confused you any further, for I wish I could type in exactly how I entered these links, yet doing so would render the letters and symbols which prefix and suffix the URLs invisible just as the and would likewise disappear after submitting a comment on IMDb, leaving only the URL address visible on a submitted post. You may have to tinker around with it until you get it right as I had to do Carved.
