andsome Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I can do it as above, but previously I could click the green link button, then right click and paste the page URL into the space and click OK. I then saw highlighted in blue, VISIT MY WEB PAGE. At this point I could type anything that I wanted such as HERE, or How about this then, and click OK again. Whatever I had typed would then appear underlined as a link. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to explain in layman's terms please? Also I wonder why this has suddenly happened, could it be yesterdays updates, which have had no other visible affect? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The easiest way to link back to forum topics or posts is to use the Quick Access menu on the left. Use 'Insert: Topic Link' to link to a topic number, or 'Insert: Post Link' to link directly to a specific post number.This will keep forum links intact, even if we move (again) to another domain name (e.g. Neoplanet) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I am thinking more of links to outside topics, e.g. newspapers etc. Until now, I have always been able to use the method that I outlined above. I can still create links, but they now have to show the URL concerned, I can no longer enter my own wording.This is an example of what I mean here.

andsome Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 It is already highlighted. I have always done it this way until yesterday. It's no great problem as I can link showing the full URL. I just prefer my old way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I see now, but I cannot reproduce this. It must be an Internet Explorer problem, as I use Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I see now, but I cannot reproduce this. It must be an Internet Explorer problem, as I use Firefox. Everything was working as before until the day that I posted. I have no way of knowing whether it is a result of the latest MS updates. I have no intention of uninstalling them, if it cannot be solved i will just have to put up with it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Problem solved. I have been experimenting in 'My Controls'. I have disabled Rich text and substituted standard editor in board settings. This is the resultThe above is what I can now do again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
