That functionality works for me. I can click on the Link button and the box pops up that allows me to enter my link and text info, along with the checkbox that I can select to have it open in another window.

hmmmm so whilst using the TEXT tab everything is correct on IE, Chrome, FF and Edge

On the VISUAL tab, the link button is missing in chrome and FF but is present on IE.

I will investigate, sorry for the oddness and issues.

Hello Tim – it is not just you, it was me too (in chrome).  I end up cutting and pasting my links as I was always too lazy to post on if it was just me.  I am glad Mike has found it may be an actual issue – that means it is not just us two!

So I have a temporary fix.
There is a link button that is grey… what you need to do is type (or paste) the link into the reply box where all these words are, then highlight the link.
Once you highlight the link then the link button is active so click it and the box appears

LINK TEST

Select blank if you want the link to open a new tab

Sorry that is not a fix, but I am struggling to see why the problem is only with some browsers and not others…
Also, in chrome in my admin screen for news items it is fine…
So it appears to be just the forums but only some browsers..

Oh and to confuse matters, everything is fine on my phone on all browsers..

To add to your pain:

I cannot highlight a word and insert a link using the visual editor. Advanced link icon stays grayed out.  Same for both Chrome 59.0 (64 bit) & Firefox 54.0 (64 bit) on Ubuntu 16.04.2.

I can highlight a url and insert a link using the visual editor with Chrome 59.0 (64 bit) on Ubuntu 16.04.2. Advanced link icon stays grayed out with Firefox 54.0 (64 bit) also on Ubuntu 16.04.2.

Text version works just fine and offers option to open link in new tab.

Hope this helps.

Should be fixed, the newer advanced link button is there and the old original one is back.

For me at least on Chrome which it wasn’t before…?
