I'm a new member here & want to post in the getting to know you forum. But I have an autobiographical post explaining myself (Google: "Yes, I am Autistic -Fr. Matthew P. Schneider, LC") that I think would be better than a two page copypasta post in a forum. How many posts (or days) till I can add links?

There should be a little picture of a world with three links of a chain just below it, sixth from the right on the grey bar at the top of the typing box.

Is it there?

If it’s there click it and you’ll get an instructed two-step method: copy paste your link into the indicated mini-typing bar, and click insert.

(There’s also a bar to name the link, if you leave that blank the link will still be there: but it’ll display as the web address)

Welcome to Wrong Planet, Father Matthew, from a fellow Catholic on the spectrum!

Welcome to Wrong Planet! The restriction to posting links for newbies is to prevent abuse by scammers. So respond to a few threads and post a few threads of your own and then post your own links.

Hello Fr. Schneider--Catholic on the spectrum as well. I believe you & our kind are a trifle outnumbered on WP though.

The add links is there but once I tried it, it rejected my post as newbies can't post links.

Nice to see AnonymousAnonymous and Borromeo as fellow Catholics on the Spectrum.

(I'm guessing I need to post 10 replies before I can post links from what jimmy m said, so if I post a few replies here...)

:lol: my ignorance there: it didn’t occur to me to post any kind of link until I was well over 500 posts! :lol:

If you like word games their a fun way to bump your post count up to the point where you get all the features :wink:
