Imafo, I copied and pasted the link from the actual site as I was reading it. I just copied and pasted from your email, and it went there just fine. You have to be careful not to include the extra marks at the beginning and end of the address, such as the _ and_ or the parenthesis marks ( ) I don't know why those are added when the address is sent through an email, I am not putting them there! Computers! We love them, even though we don't understand them! I'll send a separate email, directly from that site, so the address you click on SHOULD be highlighted in a different color.
