I'm using Firefox, but I suspect the same issue is affecting other browsers as well.
Do as [MENTION=2612]JDiver[/MENTION] recommends ... just type your list of prospective links right into the editor, select/highlight each with the mouse, then click the link button in the toolbar and paste the link into the URL field. Click OK, then repeat for each additional link. You should get the expected results.
I can do as JDiver suggests & have done that in the past. However, since the link button now has the spot to type in the verbiage, I assumed that's how IB wants FTers to post links if they want words to be links.
However, since you're experiencing similar issue w/ Firefox to what I experienced w/ Chrome, this is a glitch that IBB should be aware of & fix. Other FTers, especially newbies, won't know to do JDiver's way & will just expect that when they click on link, type in the verbiage, that they'll be able to do it for more than one link.
Edited to add: I just did a test w/ IE & did not encounter the glitch. Might be limited to Firefox & Chrome.
Cheers.
