AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing difficulties posting links to PDFs on PhysicsForums, with issues arising from the "Insert link" function and unparsed links when copying and pasting. One user noted that the automatic link parsing feature is enabled but still fails to work correctly. A solution was suggested, indicating that having two "http" prefixes in the link causes the problem, and removing the excess "http" resolves the issue. This highlights a common technical glitch affecting link sharing on the platform. Overall, users are encouraged to check their links for formatting errors to ensure proper functionality.

Anyone else have trouble posting links to PDFs? This is the second time I've run into this. "Insert link" doesn't work; "copy and paste" inserts an unparsed link, "Automatically parse links" is ON; and it works fine if I link the reader to the situation I just ran into ---

Physics news on Phys.org
I think it works fine for me

It doesn't work for you, because there are 2 http's in front of the link. Delate one, and it will also work. :) (I think)
