Hi Wanka… See corrected post below for URL formatting
Posted by wwilliams @ 11:50 on August 7, 2014
If you paste in a URL that gets cut off by the auto-link plugin in your post, here are the steps to properly insert the URL:
Highlight the link in your post
Hit Ctrl-C to copy the link text
Make sure the link is still highlighted
Click the Link button in the editor (looks like a single link from a chain)
Past the link URL in place of HTTP, and click “Ok”
This will make sure people can just click and go, instead of having to copy/paste the link into their browser. It’s also a good idea to click the checkbox that says “Open this link in a new window” so that the user isn’t taken away from the Oasis site.
Thank You!
