make dem links work!

Dem links, removed from where? Are you talking about links added by members at WA forums? That is an anti-spam measure to prevent people from becoming members just to spam.

This is nothing against you, but links are filtered out for new members. Usually you will see "URL submitted by user". If you see a series of asterisks (stars) that that would be a commonly spammed URL and those are filtered regardless of membership level.

At a certain member level or number of posts URLs will appear in your posts. However, I can't remember at what point that occurs. Moderators and administrators can view the links and the "old timers" in the forums know how view the URLs.
