A question I wanted to ask long time ago

Why is it that some people posting in a forum do not post " live " links ?
The links they post are always unclickable.
These people are no novice. One of them is a MVP.
Why ?
When you answer an OP's question and provide a link, what's wrong with posting a link the OP can click open ?
Some Ops may not know how to use the unclickable links.

It bugs me everytime I see that.

Hello t-4-2,

My guess is that the link had been copied and pasted from another post or something. Links don't do well with that alone. A copy and paste like that must be selected and use the icon in the toolbar to clear it's format for the link to look and work properly.



Copy and Paste Example: Chillout Room


Example: Chillout Room

Well, they could go back to the source and copy the url, come back and paste.
That's part of the " service " if one wants to help an OP.
Can't assume the OP to know what to do with an unclickable link. No excuse.

Anyway. Thank you.

I've seen this used before, not sure why though.

You're welcome.

I personally like to bold and underline them to make them standout better.

Chillout Room

THAT is another one I want to know.
I can copy and paste .
I can use a word or a phrase as a link instead of the actual url, but I don't know how to underline it.

Can you show me how ?

sometimes you can color them and make them move if you are feeling playful too

Thank you, but that is too fancy and distractive if used in Q&A session.

Next time I need an animated avatar, I 'll ask for you.
