Yes on the copy part. You can paste what you've copied into the Quick Reply box and when you post your reply it should be a clickable link. Or, you can paste into the "blue ball with the two chain links in the box." If you're seeing that, you are in the Full Editor. If you go this route, after you paste into the box that opens up and click OK you'll get another box that opens up, wherein you'll enter text you want to appear for the link. That is what I did in my previous post where the link reads "bigwhoop's thread."
