Re: Must be a bug in the sytem.
Are you remembering to put text between the opening and closing "a href" tags?
Let's see if this'll work:
<a href="url">Click here</a>
(I've used codes to put in the angle brackets...hope it shows up ok.)
or if worse comes to worse, you could just post the url as plain text inside the message, then we could cut and paste it into our browser address bar.
