Views: cannot use 'Node: Link' in 'Output this field as a link'

Hi all

I have a simple view for listing news articles in order of creation. There's a thumbnail, a headline and creation time. I wanted to make all three of these link to the article itself. It's easy to do that with the headline (ie title). Here's what I tried to do for the others.

1. I created a hidden field at the top of the list, Node: Link. I then checked the thumbnail field's flag Output this field as a link and entered the appropriate token (view_node). This just gave a link to /view.
2. As I was using a relationship to access the thumbnail, I thought maybe something was getting lost in the indirection, so I tried the same thing with the created time, and got exactly the same useless link.

Any bright ideas?

Oh, and also, is there any way to search only the forums here? I found it difficult to search for this topic without getting irrelevances, and because forum topics are all drupal.org/node/* I can't use Google's site: to narrow it down either...

TIA!
