If you're using Firefox, you have to copy and paste the link into your post...then you have to highlight it and hit the link tab in the upper bar.

Sometimes it automatically fills in the address, and sometimes you have to do a second paste in the link window.

For anyone else using FF, it's not necessary to do a copy paste. Just right click the link, and click on "open selected link" or something like that.

You gave up on Firefox, do you recall what your issue was?

I do not.

It may have been unwanted ads, but it was over a year ago, sorry.
