Again, it depends on the "discussion group website". This group, for
example, is a Usenet newsgroup, not a web site. Most people (I think)
access it with a newsreader. Newsreaders, like email clients,
recognize URLs in posts, and turn them into hyperlinks automatically.
The poster doesn't have to do anything.
If you're talking about a web forum of some kind, you'll have to look
at the rules for that forum. AFAIK, there are no standards in that
world.
