What are the rules regarding putting links in posts? For example if I were posting info regarding a med or answer to someone's question and wanted to post a link to a study or other helpful info, is this allowed? I've read every rule I can find and haven't found an answer.
Just wanna make sure I'm staying within bounds. I'm not referring to links about vendors or other such things. Thanks for any help,

And it should be no questionable ones that go to , well you know.

Denman66,
Here is a partial list of rules;
Notice rule #2.
So as Linville said it may be okay however it shall not be spam, if it is linked to a legit story or news item then it is usually okay, although again it shall not be any type of spam
SPAM
1 irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients.
• unwanted or intrusive advertising on the Internet: [as modifier] : an autogenerated spam website.
-send the same message indiscriminately to (large numbers of recipients) on the Internet.
Board Rules
