    It used to work in the past, but for a while now I've been noticing that links only stay complete the first time a post is made, but after editing they break. This only affects links that use brackets such as all guide links that have [Guide] in their name. The link cuts off right before the [ character and does not consider the rest as a part of it

    For example this will break after i edit it
    http://forum.gameznetwork.com/f64/[guide]downgrade-3-0-0-1-2-7-0-1-a-121455

    edit: nevermind, it broke when making the post already, didnt even have to edit it

    Instead of pasting try using the link button seems to work for me most of the time without breaking.

    its pretty annoying coz its slow :p much easier to just drop a link. in the past it would take the whole link and make it read out the thread title instead of just having an url

    then lautaro broke it, which doesnt even surprise me but he could at least fix it after himself

    Never said it didn't need to be fixed or what not. Just a temporary solution :)
