text: how do i highlight a website when i answer questions on yahoo answers?   just cut and paste from the address bar. there are a couple of things to note, though.  1) you have to include the http:// at the beginning of the address. for example, http://answers.yahoo.com comes up as a link whereas answers.yahoo.com does not.  2) make sure to include a space after the web address. even if it's the end of a sentence, putting a period or other punctuation will cause the link to not function properly. example: http://answers.yahoo.com.
