Can’t Paste links

[NOBLNG]

I copied a link to an older thread on this forum. I can paste it into notebook and the link works. When I try to paste it into a reply here nothing happens. ?

If you are using a "real" computer (not a phone or tablet) then I can offer a hint.  When I post URL links I first click on the chain link symbols on the top pf the message compose window.  That opens up a dialog box asking to enter the URL. I past the link into there (usually leaving the "text" field blank), and click "Insert into post" button.  I don't just past the URL link directly into the compose window.

EDIT: I wonder if you are asking why when you paste the URL to another thread in this forum into the compose window, it doesn't automatically expand into a small image of the thread?  If that is the question then I don't know why it would not do that automatically.

It seems to be working again.? I use an iPad. My PC baffles me since I was forced to upgrade to Windows 10.?

Ok. It’s not working again.? I am on an ipad. I can copy the link in the address bar at the top of the page. Then it will not paste into my reply message. I can however paste it into my notepad app. Then, if I re-copy the  link from notepad I can paste it into my reply. Other websites I can copy and paste directly to my reply wjndow.

It used to be when I pasted a thread link, it would expand into a small image of the thread and ask me if I want only a link instead. Now nothing happens when I select paste.
