When you click the Link button, it wraps (url)(/url) tags around whatever you post in the dialog box. I suppose that saves a bit of typing, but I vastly prefer the way that the link button used to work: It gave you two dialog boxes, one for the URL itself, and then one for the link text.

Yes, I can use (url=InsertUrlHere)LinkText(/url) manually, but it seems to me that the link button would be vastly more convenient if it had that functionality already.

You can also select the text and click the insert link and enter the url and that text would become the link then.

Unfortunately this is a fundamental vB feature, so it's not something we can directly control.

When you enter the URL, it highlights the link so you can enter your own text
