Just simply post the link of an article and a brief title or description would be helpful too, thanks!

If I C&P "itnews.com.au/News/NewsStory.aspx?story=85552"

It takes me here

I'm not sure Jewels.When I hover over the link I see no indication that its enabled.

You know when you hover over a link it automatically underlines and one can see that its active.For some reason which escapes me it doesn't work for me.

Must be something on your pc tom, as when I hover I see the whole link just fine. Perhaps you have something in your adblock that may be interfering?

This certainly is strange.I'm able to clink on any link in this thread with that one exception.

I don't use adblock or any pop up blockers any more.I used to use no script.
