Can't copy and paste links

[+Warwagon MVC]

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.

 

AmazonSmile: iodd Iodd2531 - USB3.0 - HDD - SSD - Virtual CD-ROM - Enclosures - Made in Korea … (1 Unit/lot): Electronics

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.

I wanted to test this but there isn't a preview post option, at least on my android tablet, is that missing for everyone too?

Yep, if I copy a link already in this post it posts jus fine, but not if I copy it from the address bar.

[Riggers]

Test:

 

From address bar -> https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

 

Copy Paste from Wordpad -> https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

 

Got this pop up "The link could not be embedded because of an unexpected error: error: undefined."

 

Both seem fine now though 🙄

Before submitting, a box popped up saying your link has been embedded but gave option to just post as link instead.

 

Testing using a different address.

Got a box saying that link couldn't be embedded because only https links are allowed.

Ya ... I don't get any of that, it just spits out text.

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. I am using Chrome stable.

http://www.silverlakesanddunes.net/ <---- copied from the Link from the post inside this thread

Welcome to Silver Lake Sand Dunes (silverlakesanddunes.net) <---- went to the link and copied it from the address bar.

 

hmmmm.

Testing this in Firefox 80.0.1

Nothing popped up for me this time.

 

Now using same link as above.

Got a box saying that link couldn't be embedded because only https links are allowed, which Steven said is expected.

I imagine it relates to this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4575292/improved-copy-and-paste-of-urls-in-microsoft-edge#:~:text=Change the default behavior&text=In Microsoft Edge%2C select More,URL as a web address.

 

I'll have to have a look and see what it is about the format of what gets pasted that causes the editor to strip the actual link

That's seems to be the issue.  If change the setting to plain text, pasting links now are fine.
