How do we make a hyperlink?

<< < (2/2)

Apparently the popup isn't working for everyone right now......But it is working for me......Maybe for someone who it isn't working for, log out of the message board and then back in and see if it works then.    It also could be a security item in the internet browser you are using.

CarefreeSadie:
I signed out and then back in to see if that changes the way the hyperlink works since I rarely sign out.  And yes it works for me, link to gallery here.

Maybe the problem is that I usually don't use that linky button. I usually just paste in a URL and then it makes that into a hyperlink, but maybe doing it that way can start to cause problems.

Oh howdyheidi I wasn't pointing any fingers.....someone just sent me a pm saying it used to work and now it won't, so I wanted someplace to try it out and see if it still worked for me.  I updated the forum last week one day and I was curious to see if that affected the popup url mod, but it doesn't seem to for me.  I also wonder if it could be something in the security in the windows 10 update that Microsoft would love us all to go with......I have heard a few horror stories about that update on some computers.  I won't be going to it until I absolutely have to so I have no idea what it does to a computer security wise.  As long as you are happy just inserting the url you can keep doing it that way.  I am sorry my post made you worry you were upsetting the delicate balance of the forum.....LOL

howdyheidi:
No, don't worry, I wasn't worried about any of that, I just was wondering about it because more than once my links seem to be the issue and I know I almost never use that button.  I will try to use it from now on to see if it makes a difference in my end. I use all apple products so I don't think the Microsoft thingey will affect me.  But I am like you, when there is an iOS update I always wait a week for them to work out the bugs.
