yes, Jana is correct, and when you tried to add the links you would have received a pop up message clearly explaining this. The software will automatically block links by new members

we protect our members from spam by ensuring that only active members can post links, so *everybody*, not just you, has to first pass the default number of posts prior to being able to post links, as well as to PM.

you should already be able to do both now

also please in future, if you have any questions related to moderation, either PM us or use the Contact Us link at the bottom of each page.

thanks
