On Yahoo Mail, the "insert link" function stopped working

For the past few months, the "insert link" function doesn't work properly when trying to insert a link into a message. It inserts the link in the wrong place. For example if i paste the following text into a message:
Regards,
Jeff
http://mywebsite.com
and then if i highlight the URL, copy it, click the "insert link" icon, and paste the URL, it does something crazy like this:
Regards,http://mywebsite.com Jeff
or it makes the entire 3 lines of text a clickable link, instead of just the URL.
It works fine in Internet Explorer.
Things i've tried in Firefox 26.0:
- disabled all add-ons (then restared browser)
- cleared cache
- cleared all Yahoo cookies
By the way, in Internet Explorer, pasted URLs automatically appear as links in Yahoo Mail without having to click "insert link". I wish Firefox enabled this, because it's very time consuming to manually create lots of links. Any plans for improving this?

I'm struggling to understand the difference between tabbing into the message body and clicking in it. I typed ''I'm mystified!'' and then copied the HTML as of that point. Then I selected mystified and added a link, and copied the new HTML (attributes of the initial div tag removed):
(1) Before adding the link
(A) Tab in
<div>'''I'm mystified!'''<br><br><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_8"><span><br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>
(B) Click in
<div><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_8"><span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_15">'''I'm mystified!'''<br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>
(2) After adding the link
(A) Tab in
<div>'''I'm''' <a href="http://asdf"><font id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_16">'''<u>mystified</u>'''</font></a>'''!'''<br><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_8"><span><br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>
(B) Click in
<div><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_8"><a href="http://asdf"><font id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_18">'''<u>mystified</u>'''</font></a><span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_15">'''I'm !'''<br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>

Why did the "insert link" button stop working?

They've had that stupid "click to insert a link" button on the tool bar for ever. But it did nothing. Then it started working, making markup like this:
[Java API|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/]
But after only a few days the markup stopped working. What gives?

How to I activate the "insert link" function which accepts a saved/pasted address for highlighted text in V31.0?

It worked perfectly in prior versions, but now in this version 31.0, when I try to paste a saved URL as a link into highlighted text, it returns this error message: "(No named anchors or headings in this page)", and refuses to accept a paste. Note that this is broken both when clicking on the little blue screen icon as well as when selecting "insert/link" from the function bar. I've looked everywhere for some sort of new configuration option to correct this, but to no avail. What am I missing?

No, that's not the issue. I am writing simple text in an outgoing message, then highlighting a few words (such as "click here to visit the site"), then when I use any of the three methods to assign a link to those highlighted words (Ctrl L, insert/link, or clicking on the little blue screen icon), the normal window opens with a box to insert the URL, but when I try to PASTE such a saved URL into that box, the aforementioned error message appears. Note that I can manually TYPE a URL into that box with no problem, but version 31 will not allow me to PASTE one. I've always successfully used exactly that procedure with prior versions.
Note also that when I insert an image into an outgoing message and try to paste a link to it in the same way, the same error message pops up. That also always worked in prior versions.
Because e-mail is crucial to me, I have now re-installed a prior version (24.6.0) of Thunderbird in which this function works perfectly, so for now, problem solved. But I hope you can fix this so I can use future versions.
BTW ... I'm using Windows 7 Professional on a PC running an Intel 64-bit 7 core processor.

The image sequence function stopped working correctly after recent update?

I have been using this function in quicktime 7 pro several times a week on a large project for over a year. After the most recent update to mavericks, the DSLR and gopro jpegs now open in digitized chunks of random colours. I have not changed my workflow or the gear in any way. I used the exact same files on my macbook air, without the recent OS update and was able to open and export the files like normal.
The updated machine is an iMac running OS X 10.9.2 with 3.4GHz i7 and 32gb

I'm still experiencing this problem. Is there anyone else who uses this function and has recently run into trouble?
What image resolution(s) are you using for your image sequences?

Hello, iam using the latest version of firefox, whenever i login into my yahoo mail account i get a stop script error, the details of the error script is mentioned below , please suggest how to stop this : STOP ERROR

Hello, iam using the latest version of firefox, whenever i login into my yahoo mail account i get a stop script error, the details of the error script is mentioned below , please suggest how to stop this
the website is www.mail.yahoo.com. i was getting the same STOP script error every now and then in firefox 6 as well

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Is there any way to create a circular buffer using the INSERT ARRAY function?

I saw the example using the REPLACE ARRAY function, but it uses too much CPU power on my laptop. I'm using it for a very sensitive application and saw that the INSERT ARRAY function used much less CPU power.
I am also not wiring the index on the INSERT ARRAY function so that whatever is read from the buffer is added to the array.
However, since it is not indexed, I don't know how to set the "write" index back to 0 when it reaches a certain sized array (ie 1000 elements). I was looking for an array property node, but couldn't figure out if one exists for the "current write index".
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I will try to answer this question to my best understanding. I apologize if I interpreted the question wrong.
You are using the "Insert Array" vi without wiring the index. By doing that, new elements will be added (appended) to the array.
If you just want to know the current index to stop your acquisition when the array reach certain amount of elements, then you can use the "Array Size" vi to keep track of the size of the growing array. Remember that Array Size = last index + 1 because the index start at zero.
A second option is that you may want to start over the array when it hits the maximum number of elements that you will allow. If that's the case, then you may want to re-initialize the array to a NULL state by stablishing a condition (for example, when the
size of the array is 1000, re-initialize). I provided an example attached to this message showing how this can be accomplished. In the example, an 1D array grows in size using the "Insert Array" vi and inserting a random number. When the array reach 4 elements, it is re-initialized. You can expand this example by saving the array first to a file or some other holder before re-initializing the array. The example is in LabVIEW 6.
Finally, if you want to replace the current values with new values, I think you do not have other choice but to use the "Replace Array" vi.
Hope this can be of help.

When i search through google and the page opens, it freezes showing that it is transfering. Also when i try to access my yahoo mail the same thing happens. I will uninstall Ver4 beta. and re install 3.6 until u guys find solution to this

I clicked on yahoo mail, it opened the page but then freezes showing that it it still going on.
Same thing happens when google page open for search.

Don't have McAfee, Norton, AVG, actually nothing else running. Had Firefox 4 installed on 5 computers at home and 2 at work. Completely separate ISP's at home and work. XP and WIN7 computers. Yahoo mail freezes and I tried the old Yahoo mail, the new Yahoo mail, and the Beta Yahoo mail. The only way I can sometimes get mail to open is to right-click and open in a new tab or window. I uninstalled all of the computers running Firefox 4 and went back to 3.6.16. Just too buggy and the look of it is strange.

Where is the "add link" function in Mountain Lion release of PDF Preview

Just installed ML. Opened a PDF using Preview 6.0 (765). Can't find the ADD LINK function. It is suposed to be in the Annotate menu, but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is/went?
Should be:
As-is (Preview 6.0):

Good idea Matt on Pages.
Yes, looks like someone left something out of Preview and the person doing the help didn't know they'd removed some of the core functionality. Seems like more dumbing down of the OSX apps to be more like iOS apps??? Too bad.
Found an app on the app store called PDF-EDITOR that allows you to add URL hyper links to PDFs. Seems to work fine.

Yahoo Mail is not an application. If you wish to use Yahoo Mail just create a bookmark to its web page.

Need help with magic trackpad. some touch functions stopped working. battery full and all touch options checked appropriately. whats the deal?

i have tried everything but the tap functions stopped working. any ideas?

Update: I mucked about more after making this post; I installed gnome-alsa-mixer and checked the "internal mic" option and "Auto-Mute mode" (both were off), after this my headphone output works again, and does the built-in microphone (!)
I have no idea how I ended up in this "broken" situation, or even what this option does, or how to use it without gnome-alsa-mixer (I had to install 15 packages to get this, as I normally don't use gnome)... Sound on Linux still seems no better than when I started using it 15 years ago :-( (I spent about 5 hours on this...)

I get the message "rnpag has stopped working" followed by "firfoxx has stopped working", what can I do to get firefox working again?

Over the past few months firefox has been crashing unexpectedly but just today it crashed and will not reopen even after shutting down and restarting my laptop. The message that appears when I start my laptop and again when I try to open firefox is "rnpag has stopped working" this is then followed by the message "firefox has stopped working" when I request a solution to the problem nothing happens.

You don't have "Photoshop" proper. You have a cheapo emasculated version called Photoshop Elements. That is NOT Photoshop.

After upgrading, I am getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message. I've followed all of the troubleshooting tips on the forum without success. Fortunately, it works on my other computers. Running Win7 pro.

After upgrading iTunes, I'm getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message after launch. I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the Forum without success (though most are pretty old...). Fortunately, iTunes works on my other computers, but I have iPad backups on this one that I'd like to keep. Anybody else with this issue??

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!

Copy and paste function stopped working?

The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
How do I recover this function?
Thanks.

Hi Magno2002
Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.
