    Default links in wiki

    Ok. So I am putting together and ad match up. But when I highlight something and try and insert a link to it It dosent go through. The word stays highlighed but the link dosen't stick. Anyone know what is going on? I can copy a word that is a link and paste it in but making my own is a no-go.

    Hmmm... not really following. But what I do is first copy the link for the printable coupon, then in WIKI, scroll down to find where I need to match the coupon and place my curser. Then click the blue globe with a chain link in front (its in the gray box where you change the fonts, color, add smilies). A box will then pop up. Paste the link in the box and hit enter. The part that is now higlighted in blue, just start typing over to say what you want. Like $1.00/2 xx item
    When you save the change, it will show up as a clickable link.

    (N/M, my example isn't working out!)

    Ya. IDK what is going on with it. I can put links like in my wishlist and everything. But the wiki is not working the same.

    It would be white and highlighted blue after I put the link in the pop up. But then when I move the curser to another area it just goes back to regular text.

    I have tried that. Maybe I should download another browser and see if it works then.

    Humm that is weird.

    You may wish to try another browser and see if that helps. If you use Chrome however the wiki turns to pure BB Code (which is like HTML code only for forums.)

    So if you are unfamiliar with messing with code formatting it might be a little weird. I am used to it so it does not bother me personally.

    If you want to see what it looks like or to just try and see if this works, click the formatting icon in the text editor box - it looks like this

    Then see if you can add your links into the Wiki

    I am using IE. Its strange that it only happens in the wiki and not in regular posts.
