I ran into a couple things I don't understand while posting
I tried highlighting some words I wanted to turn into a hyperlink, and clicking the hyperlink button. In other software I've used, this pulls up a dialogue box where I can paste the URL I want to link to. Here it just showed bracketed u and /u tags-- not clear where to place url.
I was able to simply paste a url into a message. But when I posted the message, everything after that link was gone.
Is this a bug, or am I just missing something?

Looks like it's using HTML tags. Try putting the URL between the <u> and </u> tags.

Thanks Stuart. That makes sense-- but normally the tag would include the url you're linking to, and the text you want to display. I saw no way to do that here.
I can try a few tests. Figured someone might see the issue off the top of their head
Still confused why everything after a tag I've pasted in disappears.

You can just paste the link, as below.
http://www.google.com/
The "u" tag is for underlining. Hyperlinks are marked with "url" tags, but you don't have to do use it.
I have no idea why the text after the hyperlink disappeared. I suspect you did something else wrong.
