Cannot upload link to another post.

Post by yan9 » Tue Nov 08, 2016 6:40 am

I am trying to post a link from another topic that I asked about a while ago, but after saving the original file in my downloads then choosing the file and trying to add the file I get the response that.
(The extension webarchive is not allowed). Can you give me advice please.

If all you want to do is post a link from another one of your threads, just copy and paste the URL.

eg:

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=69474&p=603710#p603710

Rephrase, please: my english isn't fine but your IT-jargon is not that understandable.

Which topic would you like to link to? In which other topic would you like to post a link? Is that a link or an attach?

Thanks for your understandings.

Hi CA_Steve and quest_for_silence

Thanks for the advice I will try your suggestion next time I need it, I did try to copy and paste my articles.
But I first downloaded it to my Mac and copied it from there perhaps that was the problem. I will try copying from the post page next time.

Thanks for the help.
