Hello, when I want to add any Link here - like an URL - i only get the text and not a hover link like I want? Do I need to change any setting or do I need to use another brower instead of Windows Explorer 7?

They have disabled almost all the features of the forum software here, because of a security bug in the version of the software they're using.

Use Mozilla and put in Greasemonkey and it will work fine. Your 'link is clickable to me.

As pointed out, you can setup Firefox to read the forum as it should be displayed. Strife created a greasemonkey script that works for Firefox, Opera and now Chrome. It is a java variant which manipulates parts of the webpage before it is loaded. Unfortunately it doesn't work with IE explorer. There is a stickie at the top of the forum with more info if you are interested.

Either that or just excercise a bit of patience. Per last notice, the forums should be finally be getting an upgrade/facelift this month.

Speaking of which, it's been 6 weeks since we've had any communication from our communications manager.

Thank you for the tip Day Oh and I have now installed Firefoxy plus this awesome script from Strife Onizuka. All Links are now clickable. The community here is amazing!

Let me post the instructions for others, so they dont have to search all again:

1. Download and install Firefox

2. After Firefox has been installed, download the addon Greasemonkey
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/748

3. After addon has been added donwload and install this script
