Why can't I copy/paste links as blue hyperlinks on my Mac?

This forum is an example of elsewhere. How to copy/past a link here or anywhere? Where would I find a link to paste in this reply that would give a hyper link to this discussion?

If you're pasting a link from the Apple site, just copy the link in the URL bar at the top of the page and paste it into your response. It should (occasionally it doesn't) put the proper text and highlight the link in blue.

If it's from any other website, you should be able to copy the link from the URL bar as well. Make sure you're getting the whole thing all the way to the https:// at the very beginning of the link. If you don't include that, it may not work. You can either paste the link into the response as just as the link. Or, use the add link icon if you want to add text and make it pretty.

When you right click on the chain icon and choose "Copy Link", it copies the link to the specific reply. If you want the link for the entire thread, follow Idris's instructions.

Okay...Thank you...right click on the chain but I can't find the link to copy.

For example what would I do to create a link for this post to this forum? Where is the http etc. link address. I only see the name of the forum up top in the address box.

Right click on the Link icon below and to the right and choose Copy Link.

Or click on the link icon, the select and copy the URL in the address bar.

You don't see something like this at the top of the page?

What application(s) are you using when you have this problem?

What are you pasting into, i.e. Apps?

That still begs the question, where is "elsewhere"?

Sorry, not waiting for the notifications. What happens when you try?

Right click on the chain icon.
