I know I've asked this question before, and I feel bad that I have to ask again...but this is a stumbling block for me. I wonder if someone would post the step-by-step process to adding a link in the challenge thread back to the gallery as a means to track challenges completed. I would sooooo very much appreciate it!

OK so if I understand correctly you want to know how to track your challenge layouts?
So, you make a page for a challenge. I can see in your gallery this page:
https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=373939&title=style-challenge&cat=872
When you are on your page in the gallery, look below your page and there is 2 black dividers. One says "Photo Details"
and below that it says "Additional Info", in this one it says "Direct link"
That is the link you need to show the page in the forum. If you click on it it will be all selected in one click.
Now, to copy that you have 2 ways (I work with the browser Chrome, but maybe it's different in other browsers)
- hit keyboard "ctrl" + "c"
- or right click with your mouse and select "copy"
Now your image link should be copied.
Go to the challenge thread in the forum (for example the July Style challenge)
https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35052
In the comment box menu you will see an icon that looks like a mountain with a yellow sky. Click there and hit keyboard "ctrl" + "v"
It will paste your image link from the gallery. Click OK
Do not close this page or your comment yet.
To give the link to the gallery, go back to your image and copy the url address your browser gives you at the top of your window.
Something like this:
https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=373939&title=style-challenge&cat=872
You can come back to your post and paste it below your image before you hit "Post Quick Reply" button.
You can also link the image but the simple way is to just add the link below or above your image. It doesn't have to be linked if you don't know how to do it.

I hope that is what you were asking for.
Thank you Ninigoesdigi for your explanation. My trouble is really focussed on the tracking thread, and not the challenge threads, per se. I know that when you are posting the completion of a particular challenge in order to keep a record of how many you do, you need a URL and not an IMG. This leads me to using the globe button with the chain link. Using either this button or the mountain button, my results are not correct. Sorry to be a bother. I'm dying to get this correct and written down so I don't forget! Thanks again for your Help!

If you just need to post a url link to your challenge page you don't need any of the buttons. Just copy the address your browser gives you for your challenge page in the gallery (top of the screen) and paste in your post like I do here below.
It makes it a clickable link without doing nothing.

If you want to link your image, yes you need the globe button but you can really just post the link below the image.

Yes, you can literally just post the page url link.
1. url
2. url
3. url
4. url
