Cannot make links work because of the $ sign - Help

[ez24]

In another post I tried to include these links but they do not work.  I think it has something to do with the $ sign and operator problems

I tried using the Insert Hyperlink icon and that was worse.  There must be something I am doing wrong because I found the second one from another link

Is there any way to make these links work ?

thanks

------------------------------------------------  EDIT

will try this --->   ""[url = URL ] Link text [ /url ]""     Had to insert spaces to make the quote work

this worked 

test to 250 kit

thanks    I will work on my other post if there are any responses to it

I have no clue but that's nothing new, I posted four dollar signs in a row the other day on a thread and they didn't show up in the post, anyway it's a good reminder for me to try it again.

1.  $
2.  $$
3.  $$$
4.  $$$$

It should have looked like this below.

they work - how did you do it ? - if I copy your link they do not work ?

You are doing what I do with Yahoo, highlight a section and paste in the link, but I do not know how to do that here

thanks

I had to use the url tags like this:

Code: [Select]

[url=URL]Link text[/url]

For some reason the dollar sign messes things up -- could be something to do with the MathJax plugin?

This has been a problem for quite a long time now. No sign of it getting any attention. It isn't just "$" signs. Here is an example I cut from a previous post I made a while back. And my attempt to fix it.

I think perhaps your example is best fixed like this?

I am going to have to learn how to do that.

Click the "SHARE" icon on the side panel, and then check the "Short URL" box on the pop up dialog.

I was wondering why people were send me maps of the desert

Try replacing the '$' with '%24'. I am pretty sure that this character needs to be URL-encoded. (syntax is percent sign, then two hex digits of ASCII character code)

Let's see, what happens if I write this?  $X_C={1 \over 2\pi FC}$

Oddly, nothing.

I have to backslash the dollar signs, like this: \$X_C={1 \over 2\pi FC}\$

Which makes me wonder, what exactly is going on with the $ in links?

[ez24]

Wouldn't it be simpler for everyone concerned if there was a fix that could be installed? Why should everyone muck about working around this bug?

Maybe the powers to be do not know about it? 

Funny - I just noticed the $ in my title so that means no one can link it     and I was complaining no one can link to a $
