I have done this before, but I always forget how to do a posting of an article that might be of interest to others

which displays like this:

>3 lilithcat: I must be really dense today as I can't seem to get the idea. What I want to do is to place the following URL "https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/05/27/the-secrets-of-suspense" where it would catch the eye of any member. There must be a Group where this should go as I have seen things like it somewhere

You have to figure out which group is the right place for your URL. Give it a subject that tells people what it is about. Mention whether it is behind a pay wall (even if the pay is 'only' personal information). And don't put any punctuation before or after the URL, so that it actually works as a link. It doesn't in >4 JoeB1934:.

>3 lilithcat: Yes, point taken, but I didn't know where the OP wanted it to appear or if he might like to use a text as link.
