Re: why cant i edit links

Same here. At first I thought they'd allow it after a while ( to stop idiots etc) but 500 posts later I can't do it. Tried PJs method and still nada !! Unless of course I'm still an idiot ? (rhetorical ..so don't bother)
I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation

It sounds like the team have a new problem to contend with, besides the non-functioing Avatar (for some, me included!).

Re: why cant i edit links

What computer / browsers are you using? With me:

Mac: Firefox / Opera posting toolbar works fine. Camino / Safari doesn't 

PC: IE 7 / Firefox toolbar fine.

Re: why cant i edit links

Gents,

I don't understand the issue. I'll bung a link here to the active topics page.

To do this I used <a href="http://whathifi.co.uk/forums/TopicsActive.aspx">here</a> for the link.

Just replace http://whathifi.co.uk/forums/TopicsActive.aspx with your url and here
with your display text.

pj thats exactly my point where your link just says "here" when i try to do that it displays the entire text


<a href="http://whathifi.co.uk/forums/TopicsActive.aspx">here</a>  like this, instead of just saying "here"


hope that makes more sense

Re: why cant i edit links

Well, the only thing I can think of is that when you do an update the page is html encoding your text. I've had a look through the site options and I can't see anything which you can set to prevent this.

Have a go bunging a link in your signature.

Does an image work?
