Can't use "here" for a link

I use to be able to insert text when including a link, but can't anymore. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Also, what is the text format for doing that, just in case I want to do it manually?

Thanks

[url = http://www.google.com]here[/url]

Without the spaces.

^^ Is that what you meant?

You can do it in either, upper or lower case will work fine.

Yep!!

OK, the manual method works just fine, as the below is the link to this thread.

test

When I use the Advanced scree to insert a link the popup asks for the link but doesn't ask for any text. Now that I know what I'm looking for, what happens is the link gets inserted in both sections.

Any Idea what's wrong?

Haven't tested it with URL yet, but with other codes they work as long as the opening / closing codes are in the same case.

When I use the "Inset Link" button, I just get prompted for the URL, but then when I click OK, it highlight the text where I could type 'here' or whatever I like, so you can just start typing and overwrite the link.

If that makes any sense, if not then I will try to explain better.

another test

Great! I got it now -- I guess I just don't use it enough, as I remember it to be a two-step question when using the "Insert Link" button, which is what I was looking for. This is just as good.

Thanks!!
