Here is a link, inserted with the Insert a Link button:



There code for a link above, but the link is invisible because it is formatted with html tags.

You are joking, right? You've already posted more than 5 messages. So, unless we increase the setting, it won't check for links anymore.

The one at the top is actually my 5th, so I had to post that before I could add a link.

That's not the issue.

The issue is, when I click the Insert a Link button, the link is converted to html tags, and does not appear on the forum, like so:



but if i type it out, it is correctly taggged, like so:

http://forum.greatlakeseuros.com

TIA

OK, I get it. Looks like an old bug that existed in prior releases as well. I will post a patch ASAP.

Sorry if this is a dumb question...

Trying to follow patch instructions instead of just replacing the file (as I did with this file to fix [img] issue)

I installed the forum in the wwwroot/ folder on my server.

Inside wwwroot/ there are two folders from the forum install

forum/ and

FUDforum/

neither folder contains forum_data/ folder, as is mentioned in the link on how to patch.

What did I do wrong?

You've supplied a Server_Root and Forum_Data_Root when you've installed FUDforum (step 1). If you cannot remember, look in your GLOBALS.php file.

PS: This is a simple patch so why don't you just install it manually?

3. fill in URL
4. click OK
5. scratch head because there is nothing between URL tags

I'm unable to reproduce the problem on my forum. Please check if the patch is still in.
