Problem with picture links, Hotmail & Chrome

#1 Post by MartDude » Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:13 pm

I use Chrome as my browser, & Hotmail. When I paste a picture link into an e-mail I'm typing, it appears as plain text (i.e. not highlighted), and won't work when the recipient clicks on it. This happens with both Tinypic and Photobucket links.

If I use IE as the browser, this doesn't happen.

Can this be fixed?

Have you tried holding down the 'control' bnutton when you click on it?

i think youll need to click the 'insert link' button in hotmail, insert the link via that. I have the same problem.
