+Warwagon MVC Posted September 15, 2020 MVC Share Posted September 15, 2020 I've noticed after the forum upgrade every time I try to paste a link in a forum post it strips out the link and all i'm left with is text. As an example, i'm going to copy an amazon page link from the address bar of my browser and paste it below.

+primortal Subscriber² Posted September 15, 2020 Subscriber² Share Posted September 15, 2020 I noticed that the other day as well. As a workaround I just pasted the link in Notepad and copied again and all is fine. Looks like the forum is trying to get the title of the page but fails to actually turn it into a hyperlink after pasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted September 15, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 15, 2020 http://www.silverlakesanddunes.net/ This is expected behavior, the new editor tries to embed any media that is supported and leaves it as a text link if it can't be embedded.
