I know there may be an answer to this already posted, but I have done a search and can't find it.
I was trying to reply to a post on which there was another thread covering the topic. In "rich formatting" the only option which was not highlighted was the "link" symbol.
Answers welcome because the solution must be something basic.

Hi Claire,
The link option only turns itself on after you have highlighted the text you want to link. No highlighting, no link option. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Linda.

The other slightly curious feature is when you paste a link into the Quick Reply box and then post it, it becomes an active link. Don't ask me how it knows it's a link but it seems to work.

Seriously thinking about trying harder!
Yes the link symbol only activates when you start the process of making a posh link! Link gives explanation as to how to make them
Under the old forum one could make a link to an individual post. I cannot seem to do that on the new forum although according to one of the mods one can.

Thanks to all who replied.
I'm just back home from a weekend away ( in Mull!!) and haven't had time to explore the suggestions.
Hi Sparrow, I did highlight the text but the link symbol simply did not become active.
Tiger, I'll have a look at the posh link.
TJ, I'll also have a look at pasting into the quick reply box
