Scotsman,

Posting a link is easier than you think.  I'll run you thru the way I do it, but there may be other ways.

1.  Highlight the URL you want to copy.  The one that starts www
2.  Right click on it.  From the drop down menu, left click on COPY.
3.  Now come to where ever it is you want to put this.  i.e. a document, a letter, an email, or in this instance a forum post.
4.  Right click on the page you want to put it on, in your case the body of this post.
5.  From the drop down menu that came up, left click on PASTE.  The URL that you previously copied, from ebay in this instance, will now
     magically appear at the end of the blinking cursor.


This sounds more complex than it really is.  Once you've done it a few times it will become much easier.  You can try it on your previous post by clicking on modify and following the above steps.   Or just try it in a new post.

Remember, Nothing ventured, Nothing gained.

Good luck,

Mike

Item condition:“Used with honest wear”

*chuckle*

All my wrenches have dishonest wear ;P

Very nice condition and a fun wrench, hope you get better bites than $10....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Here's one that is similar but yet quite different.  While you still "flop" the head from side to side to make the opening larger or smaller, this one also has a spring that will hold the jaws in the smallest position.  This is done by moving the lever to the other side of the pin, and then pushing the pin up to engage the lever.  Now instead of "flopping" from side to side, you have to push it to the position you want.
This was patented by John V. Larson, Oct. 12, 1926.  No. 1,602,620.
