I just posted my first URL link since the upgrade. I saw it mentioned earlier that clicking on the link no longer brings up the linked page in a new window (unless you hold Ctrl while clicking).

I just found a much more serious problem. I always preview my posts whenever I'm quoting, spoilering or URL'ing. While I was composing the post previous to this one (Political Editorial), I previewed my post and then clicked on the URL to test it, just as I always had. The page came up as it should, but when I tried to page back to the preview window, it needed to be refreshed, and refreshing it lost the post I was composing.

Not good. Only TD can fix it though.

In the meantime, hold SHIFT or CTRL while clicking on the link.

And what happened to being able to "tag" your links?

We used to be able to post 'em as [ url = Tag Here] www. link. whatever [ /url ] (no spaces!)

Since the "upgrade" that hasn't worked for me. Testing it now:

ETA: Nope; doesn't work.

I think you've got it backwards. Let's see if this works.

Hey, check out this article about the AL playoffs.

Is that what you mean by tagging your links?

Aha! I think you're right. Funny; I've been tagging them for months, ever since I learned how. Maybe I was just having a senior moment!
