Links broken on Android app

7 replies

goodwinter · 15/05/2019 22:06

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.

Hi guys, sorry for not seeing this the first time round. We'll take a look into the issue with the links.

We changed the way bookmarks load a few weeks back, but it shouldn't change again - sorry for that!
