I am running completely updated versions of WP and SP.

When I create a post and I type a url (http://), it will show up as a clickable link when I save the post. However When I write an anchor text and try to turn it into a clickable link by using the  "insert link" symbol, the popup link box shows up as blank, a rectangle with nothing in it. So I cannot use anchor text links, only actual url's. What might be the problem? It used to work previously.

We have all seen this happen with the current version of TinyMCE. And, of course, every time we then try and track it down - it all works as normal.

I know it is not a helpful answer and it sounds like I am trying to fob you off but we really do not have any idea why this sometimes happens. It is not our code of course which doesn't help any. My best hunch and advice at the moment is that it might just be a simple resource issue. I don't know what browser you use but I see this on Firefox quite a bit. When it starts to run low on resources I am more likely to see empty dialogs. So I would try closing down your browser and then running things again to see if that makes a difference.
