The trick for beastcrusher90 above may be that there is a light blue highlight on the link which you may confuse with the selected dark blue highlight. Try really selecting the link as you normally would ’till you see the dark blue selected highlight. Then you can bold, italic, color, etc.
Hope this helps.
]]>If you add a link to text before adding color the text will not recolor at all, maybe this should be fixed.
