I am struggling to get the hyperlink to work. Google Drive gives a 403 error. Dropbox refuses to connect. Is there a step I am missing? The file is marked as anyone can view.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The linking tool is a mysterious and unreliable beast.
Drive was doing the same thing to me when I tried to preview the link, but worked okay when I posted it anyway - have you tried that?
Have you made sure you have https instead of http? And have you deleted the https:// from where you've pasted the link?

I was able to post. I guess it will not let you post a pdf. I switched to a docx format and it submitted. 

Thanks

WOAH.  This is my first time using the new master list process, and I am a FAN.  

I'm not stoked about being directed away from the website to just to be redirected back, but being able to search groups, genres, and forum users from one document is *very* nice.

I was trying to figure out how to search ny group but must be missing something. As far as I can tell zero people from my group have posted.

It should let you link to a pdf, mine is in pdf format. I always find the hyperlink button a bit dodgy though, so I've stoppped using it and I do it the same way I do my signature instead, using the [ URL ] link instead. To do that, you type (without the spaces in the square brackets)

[ URL=www.yourdocumentlink.com ] Your document name [ /url ]

It'll create a link that looks like this Your document name

That might work better if you don't want to share it as a word doc
