Please may I beg and plead with forumites to just give a clue as to what their threads are about when all they post is a link.
As I have said on another topic, I really hate these links and I want to know what they are about and whether I am interested before I launch myself into cyber space.
Surely people could just say I saw this link about "blah-blah".
At my age time is short and I need to know if I am really interested or if I would rather be baking, stitching or painting!!!

Well said, Diana !! I agree entirely.
Please indicate the subject in the title of the thread - or is it too much to ask ??

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I agree entirely.
P.S.
It is also true that within the link there is often a strong clue as to what the subject matter is.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

I am delighted your lives are so full that you cannot spare a few seconds to click a link, it is a wonder you have the time to respond to them

The URL box is last of the smileys next to the box where you write your post.
Howard you must type quicker than I do.
