I can no longer embed text links

I used to be able to copy and paste text, and the links within it would work. Now they don't.

For example, the two links in the first paragraph of this page:

http://www.examiner.com/x-28973-Essex-County-Conservative-Examiner~y2009m11d20-CRU-files-scandal-reaches-print-media

The scandal involving the anonymous, presumably Russian, hackers who first shared highly damaging information from the Climatic Research Unit on the blog called The Air Vent, has now reached the print media.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks.

Hello,

They would only work if you enable the wysiwyg mode while posting in your forum,

Now, copy and paste an edited link from that blog ( normal copy and paste like when you 1st tried ) and you'll see the results.

Click the button that looks like this:

Where it has this icon: , type in the link of the site you wish to go to.

Where it has this icon: , type in the word you wish to be linked.
