Consume Me

You might not be adding the links correctly. When adding links must have the full URL. Without the 'http://' part, your browser looks for a page on the same site. So, when adding an external link in the text editor, you would select the part of the text you want the link to be part of and click the link button (the 3 chain links). Put in the link URL:

http://www.example.com/

Add a title, and select the target option.

In a similar vein, all local links (that is, links within Consume Me) do not need to have the 'http://'. Therefore, a link to the forums would be

www.consumeme.net/5/forum
