Thats the problem. It wont let me paste... I suspect it's something to do with my browser.

While I'm on the subject of links: Sometimes when I click on the link icon, the box doesn't appear at all. Instead I just get this in the body of the message...

[URL][URL]

If I paste my URL between those brackets, then post, the link in the posted message just takes you back to the forum instead of the web page I'm trying to link to. I've had that problem on and off for years, regardless of what browser I'm using.

I normally just copy and paste a link into the box and it works every time.

I'm having intermittent problems posting links. When I click on the link button, the box appears for me to enter the on screen text for the hyperlkink, but when I click in the box to position the cursor it's just not happening, and I'm unable to type anything or proceed to entering the URL. Sometimes it will click straight to the prompt for the URL, but again it wont let me paste it in.

Im using Safari browser. Any ideas..??
