An annoying little glitch that can ruin peoples ideas and make them not make sense. Im sure its an easy fix so hop to it and fix it dell!

jackie_c Mar 27	I am not sure I understand what you are talking about, can you give a few more details? Do you mean if you are posting an idea and you hit submit and it deletes part of what you wrote?
jervis961 Mar 27	When posting links in ideas and comments, if you do not add space around the link it deletes part of your sentence. This is a test. http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/10079916/Fix_the_dell_ideastorm_link_gl... sometimes words get lost. Seems to have been fixed. At least my test was passed above.
jackie_c Mar 27	Ok thanks for explaining it, jervis. I understand now. I have tested it a couple of times and it appears to be fixed for me. @theideasman: Is it still messed up for you?
stormrider451 Mar 27	Test***** HELLO THERE THIS IS A TEST!! LETS SEE IF IT DOES IT. Alright here it goes.. http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/10079916/Fix_the_dell_ideastorm_link_gl... Is it working now? WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK? HELLO?
stormrider451 Mar 27	It works now Jackie.. Thanks!! :D
aikiwolfie Mar 27	This is an old old old problem jackie. So old in fact most of the regulars know the work arounds. Which is probably why you haven't heard us complain about it.
theideasman Mar 28	It works now. Excellent. I just used to work around it but the fact its fixed means its no longer a problem. NICE JOB! :D
jdelidc Mar 28	i always type 3 dots after a link (space ... space whatever). but lately i've been able to see the ... that used to be blocked so i think it's fixed now
stormrider451 Mar 29	It didnt work for me on my latest idea.. my links were all messed up.. You can look here: http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/10080001/DELL__Standardize_all_countrie...
aikiwolfie Mar 29	When I'm adding links I always use the preview option to check everything is working properly. I'll also embed my links in XHTML. Proper hyper link tags, ordered list tags, heading tags and paragraph tags work well. Check out this simple set of free XHTML tutorials at www.w3schools.com.
theideasman Mar 29	So by the sound of it sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Oh well... YOU LIED TO ME DELL :[ I'll just have to do what aikiwolfie said and use XHTML for my links.
jackie_c Apr 2	@theideasman: How did Dell lie to you? I asked you if it worked and you said yes? No one from Dell said anything on this thread about it being fixed? I am confused, please explain. Thanks!
theideasman Apr 4	So am i :[ I was confused myself from all the messages saying it was fixed then when i tried i realised the glitch wasn't fixed at all. Therefore i dont know what to believe! Im not angry or anything, just seriously confused at why for a split second people were saying its fixed and now the glitch is back.
jervis961 Apr 4	I said it was fixed because it suddenly worked for me. Come to find out it was a fluke that the glitch didn't happen that time.
theideasman Apr 11	Well i guess ill just have to find alternate ways around it. It'll get fixed eventually... maybe.
