Having trouble posting iurl tags.

Community Website and Forum
1

To help posters having language problems I created a list of links to the language-specific forums. For example:

[iurl="https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=99.0"]中文 - Chinese[/iurl]
[iurl="https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=31.0"]Deutsch - German[/iurl]
[iurl="https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=32.0"]Español - Spanish[/iurl]

I can paste them into a reply, both in formatted mode:
中文 - Chinese
Deutsch - German
Español - Spanish

And in View Source mode:
中文 - Chinese
Deutsch - German
Español - Spanish

And I can switch back and forth between the two modes and everything looks fine, exactly as I pasted it. Now I am going to post this message and see what gets posted...

Quick Edit: ALL of the links have been mangled:

[iurl=http://"https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=99.0"]中文 - Chinese[/iurl]
[iurl=http://"https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=31.0"]Deutsch - German[/iurl]
[iurl=http://"https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=32.0"]Español - Spanish[/iurl]

Please READ THIS POST to help you get the best out of the forum.

SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING.

These steps may also save you some unnecessary time and effort in the forum.

COMMON ISSUES

  • Check you have a COMMON GROUND where required.

  • Where possible use USB 2.0 ports or a USB 2.0 POWERED HUB to rule out USB 3.0 issues.

  • Try other computers where possible.

  • Try other USB leads where possible.

  • You may not have the correct driver installed. CH340/341 or CP2102

  • There may be a problem with the board check your wiring first.

  • Remove any items connected to pins 0 and 1.
    COMPUTER RELATED

  • Ensure you turn off any additional security / antivirus just to test.

  • There may be a problem with the PC try RESTARTING it.

  • You may be selecting the wrong COM port.

  • Avoid cloud/network based installations where possible OR ensure your Network/Cloud software is RUNNING.

  • Clear your browsers CACHE.

  • Close the IDE before using any other serial programs.

  • Preferably install IDE's as ADMINISTRATOR or your OS equivalent
    Performing the above actions may help resolve your problem without further help.

How are you generating these links? Are you just typing them out manually? The problem is caused by the quotes around the URL. Without the quotes it seems to work fine:

[iurl=https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=99.0]中文 - Chinese[/iurl]
[iurl=https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=31.0]Deutsch - German[/iurl]
[iurl=https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=32.0]Español - Spanish[/iurl]

中文 - Chinese
Deutsch - German
Español - Spanish
