You Send It Question

Postby Grunch » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:22 am

I know at some point this must have been posted?? Can someone tewll me how to get links for tracks here into NWO from my e-mail.

I guess I figured out how to actually upload to yousendit, then I got an e-mail with a link to it, but cannot just copy and paste the link, it doesn;t seem to give me a copy ability??? Do I do it some other way??

Thanks

don't bother getting into your e-mail. When it is finished sending, click on the link. Drag and drop the address to your post and you never even opened your e-mail![8D][:D]

OK.......I tried this, well, maybe as my nerd-like capabilities would allow. Went to the link at yousendit, not sure how to drap and drop from a different screen (could not cut and paste, this just left a bunch of characters). Maybe I have to do this right after it finishes uploading? or I need more explicit directions. Seems I can now upload to yousenit, just the step to get the link hhre intoa post. I figured it would be me posting something, and sort of pasting the link into my post. I do e-mail pages to people on things from the net, but then I just right click on the pafe, it says to e-mail to a friend, and has me enter an e-mail address. Then they get an e-mail with the link. I am just not sure how I get the link into a posting here without an e-mail.

HELP............I've fallen on computer 'don't know how' and I can't get up...............

I'm not sure I'm understanding the problem right and I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything if you already know this - but are you asking how to copy and paste? All you have to do is:

Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the link yousendit provides, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select "copy". Then when you post here, just right click, and select "paste".

On a Windows machine, you don't have to select the URL/text. Just right click on the URL and select Copy Shortcut/Link Location.

OK.......now I see my nerdness shining on through. When I posted it here, I just saw characters, nothing looking like a link you usually see. BUT, one you actually post, it then looks like a regular link. See, eventually I learn. I just figured it did not look right, but it is once posted.

Well........if anyone can DLO the track, then I guess it works!!

It's a track from Barclay James Harvest, GREAT song IMO, to test my capability to post something.
