    OK, I've given this a couple of months to get used to it but I must be missing something real basic. Before the change, I would click on the url tool, C&P the URL and then add the text which worked great! Now, I have to wrap everything in tags and be real careful how I do it or else the post looks like :crap. Can someone please enlighten me to an easier way of accomplishing this. I really mean please. :crybaby Thanks.:)

    :-D

    1. Create text.
    2. Highlight it.
    3. Hit link tool to insert link, and add URL.


    VIOLA!

    Works for me anyway, using the wysiwyg interface.

    PEBKAC you say Adryn, I say it's a conspiracy to drive me insane! Why change a perfectly good method and make it exactly the opposite?:confused

    @Tx Go play with your cow chips.:p

    Augie, when you want to add text to your link just switch over to the other editor mode (the little white button in the right hand corner of your message box) which still supports that method. That's what I do. :)

    BASIC stuff :-D

    Still, it's extra clicks, the original method was and is the best IMO. Anyways, at least I don't have to wrap HTML codes around the link anymore being a hunt and pecker type of typer.

    Must be the default, really don't remember there being soooo many options in there but mine is set to wysiwyg... think I would remember that strange name.
