I tend to use iphone more then my bigger devices and have yet to figure out how to post links. Is it not possible, or am I just so dumb and can't figure it out?
Can I link stuff while on iphone?

Yes
Copy past works for me
Ok, so talk to me like to a 5 yr old. I select the thread I want to link by "share", then hit "copy", then what? I've been going to the current thread (one where I want to inject the link) and ... click on the "..."? Which gives me a "BB code" (whatever that is) and when click on that, "URL" and "IMG" options show up. I thought "IMG" was for "image" (as in picture) and URL would be the site I want to post...... And I never seem to get it right! So please HELP
Try going into the thread and see if it say copy url
In the iOS (iPhone) app
Touch the post and then touch More
Touch Web View
Touch the Square icon with an arrow in the bottom right corner
Touch Open in Safari
Now you can touch the URL at the top and Copy it. Then work your way back using the links top left and paste what you copied
http:// ok, let's see...
That's the way to do it in the app.
Very often I find it easier to go into Safari and Google for "Tortoise forum beginner mistakes" (say)
Open the page suggested by Google, touch the URL link at the top and copy it, then return to the app and paste it in my answer.

I feel like such a frcken moron! Seems I have all the steps except for "paste". When I click on the url it doesn't seem to insert the copied link. I know I'm missing something. I'm one of those women who have no patience to read instruction manuals. In that respect I've been lucky to have an engineer for husband who likes all that tech lingo and "regurgitates" the instructions back to me in more human form. I in turn am a multitasker, on-the-feet-thinker, crisis manager which he can not do. Still getting stuck on seemingly simple step on my mobile device is pretty humiliating and I really appreciate you taking your time trying to help me

http://http:// ok so I can't seem to find the specific "paste" field to click on. It only gives me that "BB code" bar, which upon clicking on give "URL and IMG options to select but the "URL" one doesn't seem to be pasting the prior copied url. I might have to ask my husband to help with this. Though I try to keep the forum only between me and my daughter (the baby torts' mom). Thank you again for your help

Ok so now how do you post multiple links???
Just paste multiple links in.
If the link is preceded by the http bit, you don't need to bother with the BBCode button, the forum will insert the URL tags round it automatically when you post.
On my iPhone app, I press the ... in the top right corner and get this menu: 
If you click 'share' it brings you to this menu:
'Copy' gives me the link which I paste by holding down my finger in the text link
to bring up the select/select all/paste field 
And when you click 'paste' the link is pasted: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/Can-I-link-stuff-while-on-iphone?.139843/
