I will copy and paste code into FR and sometimes the link looks the same, except where it might say "www.aaaaa.com/abcdefg.htm" on the original web page it shows up/translates into FR as "www.freerepublic.com/abcdefg.htm" Therefore, no one can access the link because only www.aaaaa.com/abcdefg.htm exists not www.freerepublic.com/abcdefg.htm. Anyway idea how to fix that? Drives me crazy!

Hmmm. Can't say I've had that happen. It shouldn't do that if you are pasting the raw HTML as text. Unless the FR servers change the links - but I don't think they do.

BearCub, If you're still there, can I give you an example?

Hover your mouse pointer over the links on the bottom of the page. The links at the bottom are directed toward FR instead of the issues2000.org domain.

The only difference I see is that the links that are linking to FR say "click here" instead of ANYTHING else.
