So I did it for UK & Ireland and when I tried to do the same for Europe, Europe & its link overrode the UK & Ireland. I tried it again with do a couple of enters to provide space between the links & Europe still overrode UK and Ireland.

So I wanted the links to be:

UK and Ireland
Europe
Spain/Portugal/Gibraltor

So this was supposed to be the first link, but when I try doing Europe Europe replaces it if I also make the link Europe. If I just post the link w/o the description, it will post a separate link.

UK and Ireland
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/europe-477/

I ended up doing this, but it's obviously not as elegant reading as the UK and Ireland link above.

UK & Ireland: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/u-k-ireland-484/
Europe: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/europe-477/
Spain/Portugal/Gilbraltar: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/spai...gibraltar-713/

So the question: Why does it limit the verbiage/hyperlink to only one & overrides the first if you try to do more than one? Is it a glitch?

Edited to add: W7 & Chrome browser.
Are you highlighting the text and then clicking on the "link" button in the toolbar, or the manual/bbcode [ URL="link" ] Descriptive Text [ / URL ] method?
