My link is grayed out.  

 
John - mine is too, however, I inserted a direct link:
 
www.beaglesound.com
 
hit enter to make it "live" then if you select it, the "EDIT LINK" or "UNLINK" becomes "active" when you mouse over them.

Some browsers respond to a ctrol + mouse wheel. 

Hey, John.  Thanks for that one.  Never knew that trick.  Perfect solution for the new format's slightly-too-generous use of white space.

I just paste URLs into the text box and it automatically creates a hyperlink. The Add Link function is unnecessary and probably why it's grayed out in this version.

Or, embedded in text, try clicking HERE.
 

How did you do that ? I can insert links ok, but can't see how to name the link now (FF or IE)

@Paulo... You can use an HTML code to do it on most sites. I'm not sure if it will work here and I'm gonna try to post the code for you using another set of HTML tags that is supposed to disable HTML tags so you can post code but that may not work either. Let's see...
 
<tt><a target="_blank" href="http://">Link</a></tt>

Okay... seems to be appearing but so are the anti HTML tags. Gonna try a couple other things...
 
<a target="_blank" href="http://">Link</a>
 
That is the raw code with no link added (you'd put your URL where it says http: and type in your own text where it says Link)
 
<a target="_blank" href="http://forum.cakewalk.com/Shiny-new-forum-m2839295-p6.aspx#2840945">This thread.</a>
 
That should be a link to this thread.
 
 

Nope. Didn't work at all. Oh well. Might work on BB code instead but I don't know the link ones for that.
 

Apparently you can select a background color for your text. Weird.

Thanks for trying - on the old forum it was easy, but I'm not fussed enough to be bothered with it if it's gonna be a performance.
