Normally posting a link just involves cutting and pasting.

However DU's software has issues with certain characters in some links.

Tell us more.

often DU won't post it properly. Go to www.tinyurl.com and post the monster link there and come back here with the small link you're assigned. Just be sure to give information you're linking to as well as the name of the original source.
