I have never used a web forum system, which doesn't convert the links to clickable ones automatically.
From usability point of view I can't believe I should do it here. I'll search for a way to submit a feature request after editing. This will make the life of the people submitting ideas much better.
- ColinWright 12y agoIt's been discussed many times before. Links in submissions are not automatically converted, links in comments are. A brief search will turn up previous discussions of this, including the reasoning behind that specific design decision. EDIT: From the FAQ[0]: How do I make a link in a question? You can't. This is to prevent people from using this method as a way of submitting a link, but with their comments in a privileged position at the top of the page. If you want to submit a link with comments, just submit it, then add a regular comment. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
- SMDM 12y agoYes, I saw this, I'll find a way to comment it in a thread where it is discussed previously. Thanks a lot for adding the links for me and for the other readers in a comment!
