Type an identifier that will represent what you are linking to. I typed Melev.  Highlight the identifier, I highlighted Melev, then look at the right side of the menu bar second row down. There is an icon of a chain, it is two icons to the right of the anchor icon. Click it and it brings up a window.  There will be a blank field marked URL.  Type or paste the location address you are linking to in there. Then click on the target tab at the top then under the Target drop down menu, select New Window [_blank] Finally just select the ok button at the bottom of the window and you are done!

I must be blind. I seem to not have any type of menu bar other than the five tabs that start with "Forum Home" "My Settings" "my Posts" "New Posts" " Search"

Where is my menu bar?

Its when you reply to a post you should see a menu bar with lots of different options at the top of the box you type into.

Okay, I fixed it now.  I saw where Spuds lost his Menu bar too and how he figured it out.  Yea.

I was just about to refer you to that post! :)
