Insert a Link not working
Link to my Forum below
http://worldwidechristians.6forum.info/forum
My problem is in Petitions and Information Category
When I make posts which are lengthy I use wording READ MORE to insert a link as they are very lengthy links,
using the button for Url and Description option. unfortunately it do not work and even when showing full is not clickable.
I'm not very P.C. Savvy but that should be easy to follow. I'm copy and pasting here how it appears on my latest post is not as it shows when posting to explain here you would need to go to my page post http://worldwidechristians.6forum.info/t3216-christian-news-network
Thousands of homes built in refugee camp for Christian victims of Boko Haram

I also get same problem even with the switch editor mode to use to copy from another webpage which use in their Forum a button to insert long links even though it show up fine on their page.
I do hope this can be fixed to use. Thank you

Re: Insert a Link not working
Yes that's the button I'm using. I don't know of any other than direct from address bar which is often much too long.APE wrote:Hello can i ask are you using this button to add your link ?
Thank you for asking

Re: Insert a Link not working
ok so your saying that you make a post say 3 lines long and then you want when you click READ MORE it takes you to a new site or posts in your forum ?
Or do you want it to just show half your text and when you click READ MORE it opens the full post ?
a little like we have on the home page
a little like this [url=http://www.premier.org.uk/News/World/Thousands-of-homes-built-in-refugee-camp-for-Christian-victims-of-Boko-Haram?utm_source=Premier Christian]READ MORE[/url]

Re: Insert a Link not working
ok i think i see the problem your URL is showing lots of _'s and other things like - this is messing up your codes i tested it without the dots and dashes and it worked but when i did your code no matter how i added it it become a open link.
Try and do it with out all the dots and dashes from some other post and see if you still get the problem.
I Will make a report about this to our tech team but no one is in the office until tomorrow

The url is taken right click copy from the address bar of the article page where I have already copied a few lines ready to post on my notepad which I apply to my Forum post.
I have the article page up so use right click copy the address bar url which I place in the Insert a link button I write in Description (Optional) READ MORE or CLICK HERE TO READ MORE Insert.
And you see the result. which occasionally also happen when I use a copy paste from another website who have embeded the url in READ MORE sometimes it work okay sometime not.
I think I remember a time ago when you could have this already written ready in your post and you just highlight the wording go to a button to insert the url
Thank you very much for trying to sort this for me as it is so useful to place all the various news in one post from a certain notification giving a few lines information with a link to read more from their article.

Re: Insert a Link not working
Hi I have news back from our tech team they say this is not a bug but a problem with the url you are making a copy off.
The url you gave us has a space in it. Make sure when putting a url in the tools you do not have any space in the text if you still have a problem let me know

Can you suggest something else please.
Again I have this problem. I get the link from the Address bar of Premier Christian Network article to embed today in READ MORE and LISTEN HERE which worked fine in another Christian Forum where I share this News.
I tested at their site posted and tried, it opened to the article. I coped the post page pasted into my Forum page and same happen not embeded and not clickable link.
Saying this other posts I have made today from various articles using the same process take from address bar and they are fine at my Forum.

Re: Insert a Link not working
please pm me the links your trying to post and i will take a look at them for you
make sure the links Do not have any space in the text if it has a space put 20% in its place or remove the space.
All links should not have any space in them or it becomes a broken link in our servers
