Links broken on Android app

27 replies

For some reason all links in the Android app are just coming up as "click here" - quite jarring in the middle of a long comment, and when someone posts a comment that's just a link, you have no way of knowing what it leads to as you can't see the URL and also can't see the text that the poster intended to make clickable.

Further, some of the "links" aren't links at all any more - just plain text that say "click here". Picture attached as an example.

Can we get this bug sorted and, ideally, not overwrite clickable text with "click here" please? I understand if you want to shorten large URLs but I don't think removing anything identifying about a link is the way to do that.

Okay so that text-only comment was fine... I'm going to paste my earlier comment again:

"Sorry, here's the picture in question. When I tried to attach it to the main post and submit, I got an error message, then another one when I made the post a second time (a different error), and then the app actually logged me out when I started writing this comment!

On top of the Apache errors and "check your internet connection" errors, I've never bloody seen anything like this app. It's close to unusable.

Also attached some error screenshots, just for the fun of it."

Wow I've tried 3 times to post a reply with the screenshot, been told "success" every time and they're not showing up. Can I not post anything with pictures attached?
