URLs will still be visible when posted by Level 1 users but will not be active.  To visit a URL posted by a Level 1 user it will be necessary to take the action of copying and pasting the URL into your browser.  You should only take this action if you are certain the URL is safe and not a security threat to your computer.

After questions are resolved, members who have reached Level 2 can rate the Best Answer and everyone in the community can continue to share their opinions.
