Why are links in WC posts not active?

[davidewart]

Posts in WC often contain links that I would to click and open. But they only show as text when I open the post on my Lumia 930.

I've moved your thread to the Site News, Feedback, Help forum.

Perhaps it is because the person who posted the links did not post them as links. Please take a look at my screenshot here. You'll see the little blue circular icons. The one with the little figure 8 is for inserting a link, and the one with the red x is for unlink. Perhaps some members just aren't sure how to format their posts.

Guess I wasn't clear enough in my first post. "The person" whose links don't work is WC. The posts are your main news feed.

Can you post some screenshots?.... AND... what are you using to access our forums? (desktop browser, mobile browser, app?)

I use an unbranded Lumia 930 (the "international version" RM-1045-1044 purchased from Amazon.com in the US and operating in Canada) with Windows Phone 8.1 Cyan update. Using the Mobile Version of IE.

I see what you mean. Will pass the word to our devs to take a look. Would be handy if you could tell what was a link and what wasn't!

That bullet text at the bottom of the screen shot is a link. (The links works on my Surface and desktop.)

Thanks!

Is it a work around, or is it the way it is supposed to work that if I swipe from the right and choose "show in browser" the links are active?
