Okay, again and again I want to make a clickable link to a site, let's say this one: http://latextoppers.com/

I want to make this url a clickable link instead of the user having to copy and paste it into their browser.

So this is what I attempt to do by doing the following:
I put the link here: http://latextoppers.com/
Then I highlight that link by selecting it with my mouse, then I go to the LINK Icon in the above menu which looks like a chain link (the one on the left, 2nd one over from the mountain-and-sun icon for Image links.)

A window pops up asking me for the URL, I enter: http://latextoppers.com/ into that box. Then click "OK.
It turns the link blue like it should (see above) so all seems to be working just fine.

But then when I post my post and go to it in the list and click on the blue link (above) it opens up a blank page instead of opening up http://latextoppers.com/.

What on earth am I doing wrong? Or is this linking function just broken?

HTML tags.

But why are the icons above disabled? Just curious.
It would help if they were there, to encourage people to post photos.

Okay, so why isn't this working for me?



Here is what I put, right above this line, but below with an extra space between the 1st  < and the last  > so that you can see it. Otherwise it just disappears, as above!
