Do your links work?

When I click on a posted link... it does nothing. Is anyone else having this problem? I use Netscape... could that be why?

Re: Do your links work?

It depends. Just pasting a link into a post does not work - runboard needs to be told that it's supposed to be an active link. (You can click on "insert link" above the reply window.)

Now, if it's an active link, it should work for you. I use Netscape at work and had no problems so far. Have you tried a right-click?

Re: Do your links work?

It's just ocurred to me -- external links (to another site) open in a new window. Is it possible that a pop-up blocker would stop these from opening?

Hm. It's a good idea, but I don't think so. Generally you can block javascript from opening a new window in Netscape, but that doesn't block a link from opening in a new window, at least it doesn't for me.

nuanc, is it just a specific link or all of them? What happens when you click on my name?

I noticed it was happening in another application and so I figured it was a glitch in my system. I re-started my computer and it seems to be working fine now.

Thanks!
