I don't know if it's been fixed but when i used to try and use the hyperlink when
editing a post, i would lose the entire post i was editing
and be left with only the link.
very frustrating.
Just FYI for the freshmen, i would learn to use the BB code as 2stepsfromtop showed. It's fairly simple.
use [] instead of () .
(img)image URL(/img) - to add an image to a post
(i)
italics(/i)
(b)
bold(/b)
(u)
underline(/u)
(color=red)
colored text(/color)
I think there's a link to all the BB code if someone wasn't as lazy as me they'd post it.

like i said it pretty simple and gets to be second
nature after a while. I forgot all about the shortcut links.
