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:

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?

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