I haven't been able to find any instructions for how to make a recipe that I refer to in a blog post have the blue link. I have searched the help sections several times with different queries and scrolled through about 20 pages on the site help forum. I would to be able to make my posts more user friendly when I am mentioning a recipe. I seem to remember that there used to be a blue colored chain link symbol but don't see it now.

hillsboroks - inserting a link in a Forum post is exactly the same as inserting a link in an email, Word doc, etc. You highlight the text you want to embed the link in. Across the top of the text box is a toolbar. When you highlight any text the "Insert/edit link" and "Unlink" icons become visible. They are the 2nd and 3rd from the right icons. After highlighting the text you click the "Insert/edit link" icon and paste the link into the Link URL box - it is at the top and your cursor is positioned there as soon as you click the icon. If the link is off EYB we ask that you also in the Target option select "Open in new window".


I have added an FAQ on this in our Help section.
