I noted this morning that not everything is working perfectly smoothly yet. I wrote a response on a GQ thread. When I hit \<submit\>, and it was through loading, it went back to the _Post New Thread_ screen. Recalling that this particular problem was an issue after the changeover, I pulled up the thread in a different tab and saw that my resp had been added.

Is this just something to get used to? Checking to make sure a post has been submitted, that is.

In the past week, I have had a handful of posts just vanish in the middle of my writing them. It’s a nuisance.

I’ve taken to copying my drafts and saving them elsewhere before I \<preview\> or \<submit\>. Yes, it’s a pain, but far less so than losing the effort.

Not sure what’s going on. I’ll refer this to Jerry.

Tonight I can’t get \<insert hyperlink\> to work.

And yes, I double-checked; I am in enhanced mode. 🙂

If you get stuck, there are ways to add a link without that button. You can just type or copy-paste the web address into the reply box:

> **[The Straight Dope – Fighting ignorance since 1973. (It’s taking longer than...](https://www.straightdope.com)**
>
> Fighting ignorance since 1973. (It's taking longer than we thought.)

(And make sure the "Automatically parse links in text"box is checked, below the reply box. It’s set that way by default.)

Or you can put the tags in manually:

[_[url=www.straightdope.com](http://url=www.straightdope.com)]This is an awesome site![/url_] (After deleting the asterisks) shows up as:

This is an awesome site!
