Version DNN 9.3
Journal that came with the DNN install
How do I set it up so my users can post links to outside sites their comments in the journal module and their links work correctly without having to do the HTML code? ( )

I haven't used the journal in that way in a while, so I've solicited for help from other sources. Hopefully, you'll get a more meaningful response very soon.

you should provide the link starting with "http://" (might not work with "https://")

Thanks for that suggestion Sebastian, you are always on top of it but this time, I've actually tried that, I've tried it every way I,, even using the "a href" tag, nothing has worked so far.

I'm running evoq engage and am able to link ok in the comments using www, https and http. Not sure if there a difference between CE and Evoq. I'll take a look.

Ok, yes, thank you for looking into it. Hopefully, you can figure something out.

I gave it a couple tests, looks like adding a new line after the address kinda works (makes it a link), but the generated link is not good, it just points to the journal, not the actual linked website. This looks like an issue to me, please report it at https://github.com/dnnsof.../Dnn.Platform/issues

Hi Jeff
I just tried on a vanilla install of DNN 9.3.2 and added the link to this forum post without problem.
The only thing I had to do was:
- paste the URL
- wait (and do nothing, just leave the link standing there) for about 5 seconds
Then the link information popped up beneath the textbox
Do you have any message in eventlog?
