Also: Let's fix the past updates before adding any new ones!

For one, the "suggest links" button has been broken for months now? We used to be able to left-click on yellow highlighted words and they would automatically link. Now this function is not working. Let's please fix this before we do any more "releases". Thanks: Libb 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

I'm not aware of any problem with the suggestion links feature. In fact, I just used it on a page and it worked perfectly. What happens when you try to use it? 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

(1) I click the "suggest links" button.
(2) words become highlighted in yellow.
(3) I left click on the word and select "add link"

But it doesn't link? So I have to manually type highlight and type in the word in the box, which is a lot slower than the old way, especially with 20-30 words per page.

What's the URL of the page where you're having trouble?
Are you using IE7 or IE8?

Don't know what could be wrong, but it just worked fine for me on your site. I added two links to the Chemical Bond page without issue. Here's what I did:
1. Enter Easy Edit.
2. Added two words which are the names of pages: Neurochemistry and Product.
3. Clicked Suggest links.
-->Many words were highlighted, including the two I added.
4. Clicked on Neurochemistry.
-->Tool popup appeared, giving me the option to add a link, edit a link, or ignore.
5. Click Add link.
--> The word Neurochemistry became linked.
6. Repeat 4&5 for the word Product.
7. Saved edit.

At what point does the process break down for you?

When I do step (5) the only effect is to make the yellow highlight disappear. Step (5) used to work, however, about 2-3 months ago? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I went to Kinkos today (using their Internet Explorer) and the left-click autolink function did not work there as well. Do you find this valuable?
