Change In Hyperlink Entry Not Good

[corkyg]

Oh, it can be worked around, but it is a pain. The new split window is what I am talking about. In the past a simple cut and paste put the desired link in. Now one has to edit the pasted version to eliminate the "2nd: HTTP:// in order to have a valid link. The alternative is to be more careful and take pains to not copy that from the objective site URL.

It was better the way it was.

Cork, it was not better the way it was, it was a security risk.

It was changed to work around people trying to muck with urls. It will not be reverted as security is important.

Thanks.

Thanks, Zuni - that's a very good reason - I can live with the change.
