   Why can I no longer post a link?

If I click the add hyperlink button then paste the web address in it does nothing i.e. it doesn't add it to my post. Simply pasting the address into the post doesn't work either as it just appears as text, not a link.

TID=47411 Entered using Firefox Browser Straight paste http://bavarian-board.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=47411 Using the link button link initially it just put a blank in, as Rhys suggested, I needed to put some text in and create the link Entered using Explorer 9 Straight paste http://bavarian-board.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=47411 Using the link button http://bavarian-board.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=47411 So it looks like you get different results depending on which browser you use Edited by nero
