 I understand that Wombat, I'm simply trying to get the insert link tab working as it should.

When you post a reply look at the tool bar, in the middle of the centre row is a chain link, that's the tab I'm refering to.

do you mean when you start a topic? or answering a topic that is already open?

what do you mean by live/link?

Wombat.
I suspect he's talking about not being able to add a Hyperlink in his post that opens another website.

ok try this, in front of your link type

[ u r l ]

and an the end of your link type

[ / u r l ]

without any spaces

let me try one here, you will not see the [ u r l ]or the [ / u r l ] only the link

 Thanks Wombat, what I'm trying to find out is why the insert link tab is greyed out, it's there to make life a little easier but cant be used (by me)

 OK got that and its also grey out for me, I would suggest a gremlin, maybe contact Cindy in case she does not know about this one

This has worked for me in quick reply, paste your link into your reply, post reply, then immediately edit your reply, highlight your link, the insert link then becomes enabled click on insert link, now paste link into box that drops down click on insert and your link becomes live now resubmit your post.

Though in standard reply my link becomes live the moment I paste the link into reply. eg https://www.google.com.au/

Cheers

 Thanks David, what a strange work around, will give it a try.  http://www.theaustralian.com.au/

Yep that works, I'm sure it's not what was intended though.
