Clicking links doesn't work.

Hi Mumsnet

For a long time now I've been doing a Ukraine info roundup.

When I post a link, it appears like this:

⚡️Russian attacks against 4 Ukrainian regions kill 1, injure 14. (https://kyivindependent.com/russian-attacks-against-4-ukrainian-regions-kill-1-injure-14/)

But when you click on it, it says Page Not Found.

In order to make it work, I have to remove the brackets every single time. Those brackets are not there on the original link on Telegram; not for any of the telegram sites I use.

However, they do turn up if I post the same link into a Word document.

If it's possible technically, could you look at fixing it so that these brackets do not turn up and mess up the link? it would really help.

thanks!

Hello @DancesWithDucks can we check if you're posting from the app, mobile or desktop?

Thank you - and are you clicking the link icon to add it?

If so, can you please screenshot what you're adding in?

Hi there @DancesWithDucks . Apologies if we're misunderstanding here but we think you're maybe not using the link button?

So if you copy the url you want to link to, then write your message, for example "Russian Authorities detain 12th suspect". Then highlight the words you want the link to work through, maybe "detain 12th suspect" and then click on the link button below the message box. It's the 'chain' symbol on the right of the bold, underline, strikethrough and italics buttons. Then you can paste the url in the box provided, hit save, and you should have a working link.

Let us know if that works for you.
