 * I have to say the new version of insert link is a step backwards <sigh>. Before
   all I had to do was highlight the text I wanted to have a link behind, and then
   click the right button, and then past in the link. Now I have to cut and paste
   both the title of the file and the link. Its redundancy.

 * Yeah its not good for me. It also screws up the location of the name I try to
   hyperlink.
 * I like to place the name of my source in a snug position in the top left. Now
   its just dropping it down and adding some strange text in the codeview window.
   <sigh>
 * I always hate it when something that has been working brilliant for me for so
   long gets broken by an “upgrade.”
 * I have to manually insert the hyperlink code to keep it in that snug position.
   <sigh>

 * Ah thats so cool. The linking still works. I need to try my author name and see
   if still bumps it down.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * It still changes the location of the name. But I can deal with that.
 * Thanks again,

 * Hey there,
 * I didnt realise I couldnt close with me name. Ironically, in Australia we generally
   would consider it rude not to use a name.
 * Anyway, thanks.
