Question

Inconsistent presentation of links

Mostly, the forum converts a link to a post/thread to a “preview” showing the author’s avatar and post title.

But sometimes it doesn’t.

Example:

Both of those links came from the menu ‘Copy link’ option.

Here:

 

In the above case, it was the same both in the editor and after posting.

Sometimes, the “preview” doesn’t show in the editor, but does show once posted.

Edit: so when you paste a link, the forum software converts it to this weird format where you can “click and drag to move”. If you press ctrl+z once, it undoes this and has the bare link.

 

 

If you use Insert link instead, it just does a bare link.
