I'm having trouble including links in a post. For example, I wanted to post a link to the Device Hacking section. I coped the URL from the address bar ( https//forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=17.0 ), typed Device Hacking and highlighted it then hit the 'Insert a link' icon on the toolbar. I pasted the URL into the space provided, and hit 'Insert'. The link failed, and on examination, the URL had been wrapped in double-quotes, i.e
. %22https//forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=17.0%22.
As there doesn't seem to be any way of editing the HTML, I couldn't remove the offending %22s.
If you want a custom label for the link then click the "Insert a link icon" in the editor and paste the link into the first dialogue box and your required label into into the second dialogue box and you get this a link to Google

Isn't that URL missing a colon?
You're right. Didn't spot that. Don't know where it went, because all I did was copy'n'paste, honest. Let me try again: Device Hacking (again).
And it happened again! Colon just vanished, and double-quotes all over!
FWIW - Win10 (S mode) <blech!>, MS Edge <blech!>. I'll fire up another couple of machines later - have XP pro and Win7 pro. I prefer firefox, tho' it's a bit greedy on memory.

BTW - is this a good place to post questions like this? If not, then where?
On the end of another question or discussion, no, not a good place.
A new question under website and forum, yes, of course. I had the mods separate your question from my feedback topic.
10bestgloves: The link goes to the wrong place
Change the display text (if it is the same as the target).
Change the underlying HYPERLINK field code, Update the field.
