I just joined today and made my first post which included some external links which I cut and pasted in my post.
When I went to preview my post, the links were there as they should be in blue and clickable.
But after I went to submit my post, the links all were surrounded with 'URL' in brackets and were no longer clickable. I went to edit out the added brackets but they showed up again in the post.
It's frustrating because I see others are somehow able to post clickable links.

How is it done? Thanks.
{url=link url}Title of link{/url} Change the { } to [ ]

You don't have enough posts in your history to post links yet.
As a general rule forums like this one limit what new users can post to some degree to keep spam to a minimum.

Similar question. What about new members posting photos? I tried and it did not show, so I redid it as an attachment, but I see others can place photos in the body area of the reply. What is the format for that?
Again, you need a qualifying number of posts, this is not the forum support section, read the FAQ, it answers that question and many more. //www.city-data.com/forum/faq/
Might someone place this thread in the About the Forum section, so that it's more likely to be seen (well, one hopes) by folks having similar difficulties ?
