Something has changed recently in the link formatting of posts - when adding a link, the “suggestion” of “http://” does not disappear when I copy/paste a link into the bar, so the links end up reading like this: “[http://http](http://http)://carsieblanton.com/”, and thus, don’t work. If I was paying close attention I would be careful to delete the initial “http://” but I missed the first few, and just saw the same problem with broken links in a new post from another creator. Typically I believe the initial “http://” is deleted when one copy/pastes into the bar.

Yeah it’s been around a while.

However they were trying to improve it a little bit ago but the update that had it dissapear would completely break the site when you tried to add a link. They reversed what they had done so I’d assume they are fixing it.
