"Unclickable" URL's

Occasionally I am not able to post a URL here and also make is "clickable." But one thing you can do is -- highlight the URL as it appears on the screen. Press Control-C to "copy, then place the cursor on your screen's or ISP's "address bar," erase what's there, if anything, click to place your cursor there, and press control-V (paste). Once the URL is there in the address-bar, it ought to open when you click "go" or hit "enter.
