why does my link not work?

Firstly. I'm sorry if this question is more 'wordpress' than 'suffusion', but I'm getting nowhere with the documentation for wordpress.

On the site http://www.instituteofchairmans.com I have a link in the main nav bar called 'A Quick Guide to being the Chair'. I want it to link to the page http://www.instituteofchairmans.com/a-q ... the-chair/, which I can currently only access via the 'preview' button on the 'edit page' screen for that page.

At present, it links to 'http://www.instituteofchairmans.com/#', which apparently means it will show the same page as when the 'Welcome' link is clicked.

I have attached a screengrab of the 'Menu Item Configuration drop down boxes' for both these pages under 'Menus' in 'Appearance'.

I cannot see at all why it does not link to the page I want it to link to. Can someone explain why? And how to rectify this?

Also, why does wordpress not just show the name of the target URL in this dialogue box? How is not letting you see that a good idea?

Thanks as ever!,

It appears that my screen shot was too big, only the top half shows up... this is the rest of it

Under Appearance -> Menus check the menu item that you have added for this page. Your # is symptomatic of the link being set incorrectly.
