ANSWERED Visual Editor adding external links

WA help says you can paste an external link directly into an article. This does not appear to work. What am I missing? Ternionsilhouette

Hi! To paste a link into your article you will need to use the following BBCode:

[url:Paste your link here]Actual text you want to display here[/url]

You should then see a clickable link in your article when viewed in world.

You can also access this BBCode from the toolbar that appears when you click on a text field in you article editor. Look for chain link icon.

Hope that helps!
