Thank you!

New questions related to the same: when I get onto another computer with internet explorer, for instance, is there any trick I must use to create the hyperlink? Or do I simply copy/paste the link into my post and it automatically turns into a hyperlink?

Also, can one of you tell me how to turn a word into a link in a post? For instance, if I want to say "I went to Google the other day and..." how do I turn "Google" into a hotlink that, when clicked on, will take me to http://www.google.com without having to put the actual http address into the post?

Thanks!

That's probably why you're having issues with the Rich Editor as TinyMCE (that the offical name of the text editor) doesn't fully work with Safari.

So, the hyperlinks aren't compatible with Safari? Is that the deal?

But one nice solution might be Mozilla's new Mac-specific browser (sort of a sister to Firefox) called Camino. You can find it at http://www.caminobrowser.org/. Hope this helps!

I tested the Mac browsers I have:

With the visual rich editor on...
. Mozilla 1.7.8 does display the Editor toolbar with link tool
. Firefox 1.5.0.1 also displays it
. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.3 does not have the toolbar, but it has other issues that would prevent me from using it.

So I'll use Mozilla or Firefox to post, until there is a fix for the Safari browser.

The manually created links work with "Use the visual rich editor when writing" turned off.

Shift+reload with the visual rich editor turned on did not display the Editor toolbar with the "auto links" button and spell checker. As instructed in the support forum, I had the browser open on the Write Post screen and pressed shift+reload to reload the full page.

According to the installed plug-in list for my Safari browser, these are present:
Java 1.3.1 Plug-in (CFM)
Java 1.4.2_09 Plug-in (Cocoa)
Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22

I have had already the same idea, switched off the non-rich editor and from then on I could use quicktags, when I type them in manually. It just costs much time, but this is even better as not to be able to create links,...

Where can I find out which editor I "use" to help you?

I still need to know which editor you are using. You may want to try using the non-rich text editor. You can change this at Dashboard -> Users -> Your Profile -> at the bottom of the page.

I just noticed that the toolbar is displayed on a Windows 2000 machine with IE version 6. This toolbar, which includes a links button, does not display on my home configuration (Macintosh, OS X version 10.3.9 with the Safari browser, as mentioned above)Perhaps it's the browser?

I cannot figure out how to make hyperlinks in my posts active. Using the standard HTML tag format with "a href=site..." doesn't work (although other HTML coding, such as bold, italics, and lists does work). Any help with this would be appreciated.
