There are two types of paths you can use in links. You do both of them with the [a href=....] syntax.
The first is an 'absolute path' that includes the name of the server to link to. For example [a href="http://www.myserver.com/pages/mypage.htm"]
The other type is a 'relative path' that omits the server name and just leaves it implied that the resource is to be found on the same server the page is hosted on. For example: [a href="../pages/mypage.htm"]
When you use a relative path in a posting here, your web browser assumes the resource is here on FR. To correct it, you have to paste in the correct server name.
