Links and closing threads

Katcat1 · ‎07-21-2011

I had a thread that was recently closed stating is had a link. However, I have no idea how to create a link. This was a picture of a sofa in a living area with a coffee table and area rug. I was commenting on the rug being used on a slant. How is this a link to the retailer? Please explain because I really am confused on the matter. Thank you.

I believe there was a link to the retailer if you clicked on the pictures you posted.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

It was a link. If you cut and pasted the photo, you really cut and pasted the link.

@Katcat1, As others have said, sometimes when we copy and paste an image it includes a hyperlink that allows the readers to click/tap on the image itself and be redirected to another website. It acts exactly the same as a posted, active, "clickable" link (URL).

If it goes to a site selling merchandise, considered a retail sales site, or other locations that don't meet QVC's Community standards, it likely will be removed.

Clicking/tapping on the image after posting is is a good way to test it. Also, once you post it if it's the original post in a thread you'll see the paperclip icon denoting that the message contains a hyperlink:

@dooBdoo @Peaches McPhee @sunshine45 @KingstonsMom Thank you. I never knew if you clicked on the photo it would produce a direct link to the retailer. I know now.
