John T Smith Jun 29, 2012 2:57 PM (in response to John Waller)I clicked every one of your links, and all resulted in errors
Anyway... I post a LOT of links in the various Premiere forums, and have never had the problem you describe
I am on Windows 7 and use Internet Explorer 9

I don't think I've seen that before.
Testing:

I'll come back and edit in a minute...
I have now edited this message. Did the links change?

Yes, the forum one did. The external link didn't break

4. Re: Valid links pasted into forum posts are broken upon posting
the_wine_snob Jun 29, 2012 3:55 PM (in response to adobe-admin)I have not encountered this problem on Chrome on PC.
I also use lots of links, and usually embed them, though have also posted just the link. This is for both Adobe links (usually Adobe KB Articles, or Forum Articles/Threads), though not always, such as for utilities, like ImgBurn, MediaInfo, G-Spot, etc.
The only trouble, that I have seen, was when I forgot to embed the link - that is obviously not an Adobe Forum issue, but a personal one...

I have just gone back and edited a post (the last one) here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4526421#4526421
It did NOT break the Adobe forum links.
BTW I always paste links into the post and don't embed them.
Original post and editing done on Chrome on Mac OS 10.6.

the_wine_snob Jun 29, 2012 4:34 PM (in response to Niall O'Donovan)Good testing and results.
Though I do not edit links THAT often, there ARE times, when I do (just today once), and have not had an issue from the IE7 days, or with Chrome.
However, will keep an eye opened to the possibility.
Thanks,

10. Re: Valid links pasted into forum posts are broken upon posting
Dave Merchant Jul 3, 2012 2:44 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)It's an issue we're aware of, and relates to the automatic recognition of internal vs. external links in the forum software. I hope it'll be fixed soon, but can't guarantee anything.
Meanwhile, if you edit a post which contains a plain text internal link with a message ID hashtag, remove it - so a URL such as
http;//forums,adobe.com/message/123#123
will become
http;//forums,adobe.com/message/123
The forum engine will put it back when it re-parses your edited message. If the link was created using the link tool in the editor, it will not be re-parsed so you don't see any duplication of the hashtag - the bug only affects plain text URLs.

11. Re: Valid links pasted into forum posts are broken upon posting
Niall O'Donovan Jul 3, 2012 4:43 AM (in response to Dave Merchant)That's funny Dave, because all of the links I have posted/edited are plain text links, pasted directly into the message.
Here is a current thread, as an example. I have copied the title of the thread from the alternative menu: "copy link address".
When I paste it into this message, it comes in with the hash tag, which I have always left in place. Eg "http://forums.adobe.com/message/4525500#4525500".
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4525500#4525500
I will come back in shortly and edit the message, leaving the hashtag in place.
Niall
I am editing the message to see if it changes the original pasted link.

Nope, pasting the link as plain text and then editing the post, does not seem to corrupt the link (at least here anyway).

Dave Merchant Jul 7, 2012 10:51 AM (in response to Niall O'Donovan)If a link has been pasted that way it'll keep the tags, so the filter won't react. As you can see your earlier edited posts were corrupted.

It looks like this only affects links to Jive Ideas, but not to discussions or documents. Still working with Jive on it.

That looks normal. Did the link work?

17. Re: Valid links pasted into forum posts are broken upon posting
Noel Carboni Jul 10, 2012 6:53 PM (in response to adobe-admin)No, it doesn't look normal and no, it didn't work. Note that there are TWO hashtags in the URL as shown on the status bar (3 red arrows).
Edit: Perhaps you don't understand that the URL shown in the status bar at the bottom is the actual URL, and it's brought up by hovering over a link.
