Hmmm....removing the feature to auto-add a link is not an enhancement.

I agree, but I don't see how to do the auto-add-a-link. Perhaps I am just missing it, as it does seem like a step back.

OK...I think I may have figured it out. In the quick reply box, there appears to be an option for link, but one cannot click on it.

Never mind...my test case did not work. There is a button for making a link, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to use it.

When you run your mouse over the "reply to message" button on upper right...and this only works on post YOU wrote...one of choices is "edit message".

It works for me using Chrome or Firefox, but when I use internet explorer6 it doesn't work. Oddly, when using IE8, the quote flashes for a split second, then vanishes.

How do I insert a link

It seems like if you simply cut and paste a link it works
http://www.roadfood.com/

But if you want it to show up as a word, the "link" feature seems disabled, meaning you have to do it old school...

[url=***http://www.roadfood.com/****]Fancy Link[/url] (leave out asterisks...I added them so format will show)

Fancy Link

Yeah, that's some upgrade

BuddyRoadhouse Total Posts: 3806 Joined: 12/10/2004 Location: Des Plaines, IL	Re:Forum Upgrade Wed, 09/15/10 1:19 PM (permalink) So far the biggest problems I've encountered are the lack of an "underline" icon in the "reply" window, and my inability to access the icon for creating internet links as text. The "quote" function failed me on one occasion, but I closed the window and reopened it and it worked fine. Buddy

I've also found this to be the case much of the time-- The first click produces no quoted text, but the second try does.

If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again

After about a second, a pulldown menu with "Quote message" and "Add to quote" appears. Click one of them. Now, if I can only figure out how to get my signature to automatically appear.... Bart

BuddyRoadhouse Total Posts: 3806 Joined: 12/10/2004 Location: Des Plaines, IL	Re:Forum Upgrade Mon, 09/20/10 5:46 PM (permalink) Couldn't make the "quote message" function work at all today. However, when I replied to a message after clicking on the "quote" icon, I did get the "underline" icon and the "URL as text" icons. They still don't show up as part of the normal "Quick Reply" or "Full Version" windows. Buddy
