In an effort to streamline posts with long URL links (Uniform Resource Locator) i.e. long web address that when posted do not work unless the entire link is copied and pasted into a browser. Here is a solution that makes it work and will impress us with your skills 
For example, say this is the web address you want to link to and it is pretty long. Use the World icon to insert your web address in between these blue brackets [ url][url ] like this:
[ url]translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.hyd.net.cn/catalog/pump/cbk_s_n.htm&sa=X&oi=transl%20ate&resnum=10&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DCBN-E316%2Bpump%26num%3D50%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG[url]
Then delete the last bracket of the first [url] and replace it with an equal sign like this [url= .
Then go to the end and add an ending bracket in front of it like this ].
Then type the link name you want in between those brackets like this ]CLICK HERE[ /url].
So in the message box, your link should look like this now:
[ url=translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.hyd.net.cn/catalog/pump/cbk_s_n.htm&sa=X&oi=tra nsl ate&resnum=10&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DCBN-E316%2Bpump%26num%3D50%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG ]CLICK HERE[ /url]
And if you did it correctly, it should look like this when you preview.

You can now click on it and it should take you to the page you wanted to share.
It's a lot easier to do than to explain.
You can practice posting links here.
If you have a problem, one of us will help you out.
