Links Won't Work

[Joe Jordan]

So, I'm aware of the fact that Profit has undergone a "management change" so-to-speak, but I've recently developed an issue with my UI that doesn't seem to be common amongst anyone else I talk to who has the same UI. I can link any item I actually possess in my inventory by shift+clicking on said item, but I can't link anything else. If an item drops and I want to show it to someone else...I can't (unless I win it obviously). I used to be able to just click the item icon in the top right corner of the examine window and it would drop the item link right into the chat box for me. I've also tried having the cursor flashing in the chat box while doing this as well as trying it both ways holding control while clicking the icon and none of it works.

I've ran the updater, rebooted, and tried all sorts of different combinations of clicking different things in game to get them to work and none of it has worked. I'm curious about 2 things; is anyone else having this issue, and does anyone happen to know how I might go about fixing this? It's a pretty major pain in the butt to have to jump on the internet and dig up a \aITEM etc., etc. link every time I want to show someone an item that I don't have in my bags. I, like countless others I'm sure, have been using Profit for ages and really don't have the desire to switch to anything else. I do talk about lots of different items with friends constantly though and it's definitely been a rather annoying glitch for me. I would lub someone forever if they're able to point me in the right direction on this.
