URLs in submissions don't get linked, URLs in comments do. If you want your URLs to be clickable, add a comment, just as I did.
This isn't a shot at you specifically because it happens again and again and again and again, but I'm constantly surprised, constantly surprised that people like yourself who have been here for months don't know the rules. It's something you simply need to know, something that you learn from spending time here, and wondering "I wonder why that happens."
- JangoSteve 16y agoThis is off-topic for this thread I think, but the thing that constantly surprises me is that there is no mention of or direct link to the submission guidelines from the submission page.
- StavrosK 16y agoAnd now I know! I still can't figure out when the downvote arrow appears, though.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoFrom the FAQ at the bottom of every page: http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html Why don't I see down arrows? There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold.
- StavrosK 16y agoThat's the odd thing, I saw them one day and then they went away again. It's no big deal, I was just wondering, thank you.
