Guideline 17

The Thyroid UK forum guidelines are always accessible on this pinned post:

Forum Posting Guidelines

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

We ask that all members read them and very much hope you do so. However, in time, we can forget what was there, or misremember, or whatever.

Hence, I am posting this short reminder of the guidelines in full.

And (today) of this specific item:

17. If you post a link, please at least explain briefly what people can expect to find if they follow the link. Links without such an introduction/explanation may be deleted.

When links appear on HealthUnlocked, they are shortened and become blue. The full link you see as you write your post - and which might make clear what the link points to - can end up just being a confusing part of the link with the right-hand end truncated.

I have written a blog to make some suggestions of how you can help members by saying what links point at:

Posting Links on HealthUnlocked

There are technical issues if you put a link into the subject line of a post. Some of the issues which used to cause havoc are not as bad but links in subject lines NEVER convert to blue - and members will never be able to click on them. Hence this related guideline is also being mentioned:

31. Do not post links or website addresses in the subject field of posts.

Note that HealthUnlocked’s own guidelines also apply:
