Problem with giving titles to hyperlinks...

So I type this link in the 'URL:' section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink
...then this title in the 'Title:' section: Hyperlink - Wikipedia
...and this crap shows up:
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink]Hyperlink - Wikipedia [/url]
It's been crapping out like this for like over a month.

I just tested this and I found your problem. Make sure the [/url] is on the same line as the rest.
Same line: Google Code:
[url=www.google.com]Google[/url]
Next line: [url=www.google.com]Google [/url]

What do you mean by "same line as the rest"?
What line? The rest of what?

The rest of the code... You have [/url] on the next line. Keep the whole string of code on the same line.

I get it now, but am wondering why I have to do this manually now--I used to not have this problem.

You must be hitting enter or something after you click OK, causing it to jump to the next line.

Oh yeah, I've been pressing enter instead of clicking 'OK'--silly me...
Ythan should make it so that pressing enter instead of clicking 'OK' doesn't make it skip a line.

It doesn't skip a line for me. I hit enter and it goes in just fine. The problem is the cursor appears right behind the first bracket '[' so you must be pressing enter AFTER clicking OK. I think the cursor should appear after the entire code so it eliminates this confusion.

But I'm not even clicking 'OK', I'm just pressing enter once after I type in my title.

Yes.
