I have been wanting to add links to my hubs, but when I hit the "suggest links" button, nothing appears. It has been this way since I joined the site. Do you know why I am not able to access this option? Thanks in advance.
After you hit the suggest links button, you then need to highlight a part of the text of your hub. I suggest:
1. highlight text that is short, a few words.
2. highlight text that is contained in the title of another hub you have written or
3. highlight text that shows a concept you would think the reader would like more info on.
THEN
When you highlight, you will see green and black boxes with titles of other hubs. You need to click on the green plus sign to get that hub linked to your text.
WHEN you are done, click stop suggesting links back in the link suggestion box to your right.
Hope that explains it all.

When I'm suggesting links within my hub, and I highlight a word to make a choice for a link, then finish and move on to the next word, I notice that another word I had just highlighted disappears. For every word that I finish highlighting as a link, a nearby linking word in my hub becomes unlnked...

Hello fellow hubbers, as I created a new hub yesterday I found that attempting to create a link to one of my other hubs as a refference would not work. I kept getting an error that it was a bad link. After giving up on that and finishing my hub I discovered that the suggest links option would just...

I find this is the same on all my computers and all my browsers. It is especially difficult for me to fix my broken links on Hubs because I can barely see the 'yellow' highlight to fix it. On some Hubs I cannot find any yellow-highlight whatsoever, and on others it takes me too much time and effort...

Where can I find the instructions on how to link one of my hubs to another inside my text. I have a number of hubs in a couple of topics. Tired of wasting space repeating myself when I can just refere to another hub. Can I get revenue, if I refer to a comercial .com? Anybody!
