Tried posting URL link to reply message with Insert / edit link & Link text...ie: Norton Bootable Recovery Tool for 2010. Here the Link text Here populates the correct URL to the new window address bar...but, also only populates error page ~ Method Not Allowed ~The server is unable to process your request. So, I have to then edit message with full long URL. My Target is Open link in a new window. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong. How may I get Insert Link text to work absent error page?
There's a full stop after the "jsp", and that got into the link as well, that's why it isn't working. Erase the dot, and it will work.
Do the following: highlight the word "here". Then go to the link icon and insert http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/globalmaps/recoverytool.jsp (without the full stop after the jsp) in the box "Link URL". For practical reasons, choose "Open link in a new window" under "Target". Then click on "Insert". And then you've got the link embedded in "here".

Wow...amazing what a dot will do...thanks. For practical reasons I do choose "Open link in a new window" under "Target". So, it must just be just the darn dot. Thanks
While I have your ear. I have also tried to compose message with differing Font color. The posted message always reverts my optional Font color to default black. Maybe, u can offer advice How to post with chosen Font color. Lets see if Text link works now Here
About the colour; that happens to me, too. I get a red box saying something about invalid html having been found in my message, and I lose the colours, and have to apply them again. This is an old glitch with the forum editor, and you just have to start with the colours from scratch :-/ It usually always works on the second attempt.

sorry for taking up so much time w my minor issues...
re > It usually always works on the second attempt. ~~ Do u try second attempt from Red Box window or do you just edit original post or do you preview message and change colour from preview pane.
I tried Personal Preferences w Ignore HTML but, not sure that was appropriate for colour fix.
I tried to edit posted message and change colour ...did not work as you can see...still basic black.
One more try ...I think I got it ...will play with it. I can't control what happens to my FF w Norton Live Updates ...maybe I can control my posts.
Lol, I think you've got the hang of it. If you want to do some more testing with the colours and fonts, please use the thread below - it is meant specially for experimenting with the forum features ;-))
