Can Any Mac Users Help with Posting Links?

I am having difficulty in posting hyperlinks.

The main problem seems to be that the link symbol remains greyed out even after entering the rich formatting reply box.

I have tried, after highlighting the link, Control C and V, and Command right click and Edit without success.

Tiger, if you read this, I note your advice but am even further perplexed in that I seemed to have created a live link on the Sparrowhawk thread, albeit that it did not open the intended blog. I understand (i think) your explanation, but generally the set up does not appear to let me insert posh links.

If any Mac users can help, this would be appreciated.
