links are not showing their title

[creations]

When I post links they usually show the title rather than the ugly unfathomable web address which I'm now getting.
Is there an easy fix or are we stuck with this for now?

I see what you mean.  The automatic hyperlinking thingy (totally a technical word ) does appear to be broken.  What I did on the 3rd link there was not a quick fix. 

This is a Tom or Andy question.  Hoping it will be more easily visible to them in the Glitches board.

Thanks Jaime

To update (from chatting with Andy)

Long story short:  The automatic titles are not working and will not be working anytime in the foreseeable future.  This server is different from our old one and isn't quite able to handle the load of doing this.

~~~~
The titles can be manually added, if you desire and have some spare time on your hands. 

For example, the Sleep Interview thread mentioned earlier.

Here's the link:
https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=275935.0

If you highlight that link, and then click the little world icon (2nd from the left, underneath the I for italics button), you will see this (without the asterisks):
[url***]https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=275935.0[/url]

Then you just change the code a bit so you see this (again, without the asterisks):
[url***=https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=275935.0]Sleep Interviews and Member Consults with Tracy[/url]

Then you see it the old familiar way:

Hopefully this helps explain why I just won't be able to do all the threads manually!!      A decent goal would be to update the FAQs, but that will be slow going as well.

Forgive me for being slow on the uptake here Jamie.
Do you mean that that we would need to change the url by adding the title each and every time we post a link in a thread so that it reads correctly?

So then it is probably worth us working our way through the FAQs threads so that people can see the title of what they are clicking on, but for within a regular thread it just would never say the title? Yes?

(and thanks for following up)

[Jaime]

Yes, that is exactly what I mean.

OK thanks. I'll try to get the stuff on my boards then.
Pretty sure I won't be changing every link in every support thread though. Pity. I always loved those titles showing it was one of the things I liked about BW when I first arrived.

I always loved those titles showing it was one of the things I liked about BW when I first arrived.

I loved it too.  I hope it eventually comes back.  Now we'll just have to give more context clues when we post links.
