    Hi there
    The links to forums on the top bar aren't working for some of the headings i.e. Rec, Science, Soc, Sports, Sys & Tech. I hoover the cursor over an option e.g. GAA but neither does the hyperlink (i.e. underlined) appear nor does clicking on it bring me to the forum.

    Are you pointing at the text? It should get underlined and change to a reddish orange colour.

    Yes I am, it works for all the other ones I haven't listed above. The hyperlink on the ones I've listed isn't working.

    Can you give me some details on your setup: Operating system, browser etc.

    XP, IE8.

    Had a look on Mozilla and all the links are working on that browser.

    Still not working. Just to illustrate the first screenshot shows a hyperlink that is working, in the second the mouse is hovering over Rec>Gambling and the hyperlink (red underlined) is not appearing. The third screenshot shows the same hyperlink working when in Mozilla. So the problem is clearly with IE8. Am I alone in having this issue?

    I'm going to say this is most likely an issue with just your own browser. I've just booted up a fresh copy of XP with a fresh install of IE8, I cannot reproduce your issue.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
