OK so I wanted to add a link to an OT post. I hit the link button, entered the URL and hit Submit. Nothing happened.

1 - just paste the url into the Advanced Editor and it will convert it into a link
2- highlight the text you want to make into a link before you click on the link button.

If not, the Advanced Editor toolbar may not work for you.
You'll have to hit the "Switch to Basic Editor" button and do it the old fashioned way. Once you're in "Basic Editor" go to the "Get Markup Help" and scroll to the bottom for how to enter links and links with text.

For what it's worth, I'm using Camino (a Mozilla browser I think) on a Mac. I put that link in through the advanced editor by typing it into the message, highlighting it, clicking the link button, and typing the link into the box that appeared and clicked submit.
My blog
And for that link I typed "My blog" in the message, highlighted it, and so forth.
So it works in Camino.

I use the basic editor as i prefer to code it rather than use the auto-thingie.
I cannot figure out how to create code text for a hyperlink. Most boards let you do this:
[ url=http://tytytytyt.com ]text[ / url ] (spaces removed)
That doesn't seem to work here. Can anyone assist? Thx!

In Basic Editor, try the "Markup Help" link at the top of the Reply screen

Though it looks like you have the syntax correct:
<url "http://www.gossamer-threads.com">text in here</url>
...except with [brackets] instead of <...>
