I am having difficulty accessing links on SR to chosen photos or member pages via the URL bar: what seems to be happening is that when I carry the link to the URL bar and enter this takes me outside of SR altogether. Is this some kind of conflict between Tor and Java Script or something else altogether? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hmmmm...
If you're using torbrowser you could be seeing things like a www added onto the beginning of the SR URL.
There's a current bug where it tries to resolve through standard local DNS, and winds up appending in an effort to resolve.
Some folks also put it in their links due to ignorance.
I don't really trust embedded URLs. Hover over them to see where the link leads in the status bar (if you've enabled the status bar. Otherwise copy the text of the url and paste it into the address bar instead.
Do you have any specific examples?

Sure: for instance if someone provides images of their product with links as soon as I paste them in the URL bar and press enter it takes me outside of SilkRoad and takes me to an 'error' page put up by my provider. Or if a vendor on the purchase site has a link to their profile...same thing happens..I end up outside of SR. I am not sure what the problem is. I can't say I am terribly interested in updating to any 'newest' version of Tor just b/c I have heard that there are various issues with it. I am pretty content with the Tor bundle I have now.

I am experiencing the same issue as Hassan I Sabbah described. Any ideas?
