chat: URLs don't hyperlink

submitted by oyveyo to TalkDev 5 monthsNov 11, 2023 20:22:02 ago (+5/-0)     (TalkDev)

Hello, I've come to bitch and moan. Not only do URLs not become links, but attempting to highlight the URL and right-click "copy" is nearly impossible for some reason as the selection seems to randomly change or disappear before you can navigate your mouse to the "copy" option. It's like playing wack-a-mole trying to grab the link.

I am aware that launching a new tab for full-page chat makes it slightly easier to copy, but that's a lot of hoops to jump through just to follow a link.

I've heard rumor that there is one specific browser that renders them correctly but I don't recall which browser that is and I do recall it's not a browser I want to use... but how difficult is it to make links work on all browsers? Seems like hyperlinks are not rocket surgery. Maybe they are, I'm not a webdev. I've tried waterfox and the latest version of brave.

That's the end of my bitching and moaning. Thanks @system for all the work you do.

I do that with every link that's not active. Chrome, in case you'd like them to know what you really think.
