Yes, you are right I created a test post and this is what it shows https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62776645 All the links are not clickable so trying to edit without doing anything will render it not clickable, even when you quote and you just hit save it will render the link not clickable.

In my second quote I only use one space and all the links become clickable

I apologize for the repeated posts previously! I should have done the same as you! If the moderator sees fit to put everything together, ok. Sorry. I won't edit, so as not to defeat the purpose. Embarrassed


I went to your topic, made several posts with letter spaces, without spaces, followed links and everything worked.

How do you create the space for this not to work?
This seems more like a typo, perhaps due to the browser or operating system, than this idea of spaces in writing.


A few more tests, to enjoy the post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/non-clickable-link-in-original-post-but-clickable-when-quoted-5465210 1space
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/non-clickable-link-in-original-post-but-clickable-when-quoted-5465210  2space
  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/non-clickable-link-in-original-post-but-clickable-when-quoted-5465210  2space
To work? It seems so to me...


EDIT: Still works?

Edit 2: After writing edit 1, the second link (with two empty spaces) turned into non-clickable. So, the text that follows affects the links somehow, but not all of them.
It's not the added text that makes the link unclickable. It's the edit that makes the link unclickable.

Make a post containing a link with two spaces before that. After that, click on "edit" button and save the post without making any edit. You will see that the link becomes unclickable.
The same thing happens when the number of spaces before a link is a multiple of 2.


7 spaces before the link:

Let me try this quickly by posting links to the Meta board with different spaces. I am not going to try without any spaces because that would obviously not work as a hyperlink.

Meta board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0
Meta board:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0

Edit 1: It has nothing to do with empty spaces before the link. The hyperlink is clickable with 1, 2, and 3 empty spaces.
Edit 2: After writing edit 1, the second link (with two empty spaces) turned into non-clickable. So, the text that follows affects the links somehow, but not all of them.

That's not a glitch instead there are 2 spaces in the last heading means after licenses he put two spaces that's why the link is not clickable. While in the above heading he put only one space.
Good point, but how can you explain that the link is now clickable after quoted and still have double space.
Example link  https://quillbot.com/grammar-check   with 2 spaces
Example link   https://quillbot.com/grammar-check   with 3 spaces



The easiest explanation is, Our preview allowed us or allowed the link to be clickable because it is a simple link for example a link of some topic we used to insert in between our discussions or under our news as source link. Those links also turn out to be working in preview. Other then preview I can say for sure that it is not workable just because of two spaces if they will be reduced to 1 then link will be workable but in preview I think the rules or previews are made in such environment which allow all the links to look as workable instead of the following ones. These will not be look as workable.  

Well, the one scenario in which links are not shown working are:
Example:https://quillbot.com/grammar-check   with 0 spaces
Examplehttps://quillbot.com/grammar-check   with 0 spaces


Edit--> WTH links are working now. (why I said links are working will be elaborated later after hearing more from you).

This is not a glitch instead writing mistake which could be corrected if reported to that OP. Otherwise I do not think there is anything to worry about.

I have come across an unusual glitch. I don't think we can call it a bug, but it's definitely weird to me.
If you take a look at this post, you will notice several internal links written under the Other sources section. They are all clickable in the post, except the last one.

Here is a screenshot of how it looks now just in case OP changes and fixes it.


However, quoting the post or previewing it before a quote turns the last link into a clickable one as well.
Screenshot below:


My question is, why is that? Why is the link in the original post not a hyperlink but if you quote the post it turns into one? @theymos what's an easy way around it without manually adding the hyperlink code?
