Yes, it would, I think, except the box is over there off the screen (as in that screenshot), so I can't see it. If I double click the (misplaced) box, I cannot tell if the highlighting worked or not.
If I just simply paste the code from photobucket, without using the "Insert Link" button, it works OK and looks like this:
Also, the "Insert Link" button used to look like your picture, today it looks like mine.
looks normal in Firefox, but still doesn't show as a picture if I use the insert link button, does show if I simply paste the code from Photobucket as below. Gets curiouser and curiouser.
Dennis, rich text editor is not enabled, and also nothing has changed on here in ages except the MS update to IE7.
By the way, I don't know why I said that about being late in the day over there...a minor Brain Cramp...I thought it was about 11 pm in the UK. Slowly losing sanity in the cold weather, I guess.
OK, cold restart, Opera and Firefox gone, back on IE7.
- The insert box still looks like picture 1,
- The inserted code looks like this:
"]LINK[/url]
This is what the forum inserted code looks like in code tags:
Aethec, I should do that. Will soon. Presently waiting for the bugs to get fixed. That habit has served me well dealing with Microsoft. I am sorry to be such a Luddite, but I don't have the skill or knowledge to work out the bugs myself.
Hazel & Dennis, thank you, it is a huge relief to know that the problem is not with old HAL here, but maybe some IE7 issue. I was just about to uninstall and reinstall IE7 when I read Dennis's post.
It might be something to do with the forum code here...?
Edit: Just tried it on another forum. Same thing happens. Copy/paste works, insert button does not.
But we did find out that the same thing happens in Opera and Firefox.
The workaround of simply pasting the code works OK.
