Question

Valid links pasted into forum posts are broken upon posting

Is this a known issue?

I create a post with a link

Say http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1706

All works fine.

I edit the post (not touching the link), and re-post it

the link becomes  http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1706 (bad link)

Edit: even pasting a good link into a post http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1701

shows up as http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1701

    I don't think I've seen that before.

    Testing:

    http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1706

    I'll come back and edit in a minute...

    I have now edited this message. Did the links change?

    Yes, the forum one did. The external link didn't break

    I have not encountered this problem on Chrome on PC.

    I also use lots of links, and usually embed them, though have also posted just the link. This is for both Adobe links (usually Adobe KB Articles, or Forum Articles/Threads), though not always, such as for utilities, like ImgBurn, MediaInfo, G-Spot, etc.

    The only trouble, that I have seen, was when I forgot to embed the link - that is obviously not an Adobe Forum issue, but a personal one...

    I clicked every one of your links, and all resulted in errors

    Anyway... I post a LOT of links in the various Premiere forums, and have never had the problem you describe

    I am on Windows 7 and use Internet Explorer 9
