So, I have always had trouble when i make a forum post. 

Every time I hit enter it spaces the next line as if I hit it twice. This post will be an example of that.

If i paste a link from deviant art it is highlighted black and I never know how to undo that? Example https://www.deviantart.com/tigerlillyrk/art/March-26-Mascot-Puzzle-Lotus-Piston-1312765337

Also, I tried to use html to make a clickable link instead of having the whole link in the post but it will not work. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. 

Any help would be much appreciated!
