What are URLS

[Archie Andrews]

Hey gang,

I new here and I was trying to post a thread on the Resort Boards and when I try to post it says I cannot because of URLS, what are URLS? I need to know.

From Webopedia.....

Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, and the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

# ftp://www.pcwebopedia.com/stuff.exe
# http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html

I was just wanting to post something on the resort boards how there should be more Bike Paths around the resorts. How come this URL thing is poping up.

You don't have enough posts to be able to post a url. Once you have posted more you will have that ability.
