Actually I don’t understand what you mean. May you give an example?

Url after posting gets reflected based on the subject line of the topic.

  • When using URL tags i.e. [url] and [/url] make sure both tags be on the same line like shown below.

  • [url=https://coderanch.com]CodeRanch[/url]

    Displayed in the post as --> CodeRanch

  • Unknowingly you might have put closing URL tag ( [/url] ) on the next line like below

  • [url=https://coderanch.com]CodeRanch
    [/url]

    Displayed in the post as
    [url=https://coderanch.com]CodeRanch
    [/url]
    which causes removing link and showing URL in text format without link irrespective of what is shown in the preview.

    Enabling HTML option makes system recognize HTML tags in the post and display contents accordingly else displays as simple text.

    After tick marking Allow HTML in preferences you have to click on submit button beneath the all menus to save the profile changes then If changes saved successful you get information updated message, hope you did the same.

    Go ahead and check again. This feature works like charm. The second browser tab might be the old one, opened when you had unchecked Allow HTML option in preferences.

    There is. By right-mouse clicking on the little note icon near the post’s posting time and selecting copy address.

    Do you want to create Wiki documenting such tips and tricks which are important to you as a user for a daily Ranch use? So might others could benefit too. I don’t think we ever created such document.

    This is my 4th post since I ticked Allow HTML option in My profile--> preferences. While posting those 4 posts I saw Disable HTML in this message option was unticked as expected.

    Harry Kar wrote:Till now i noticed it 2 times (Disable HTML ...) ticked. Mostly is unticked except that 2 times till now.


    Not sure which two times you're talking about. Anyways If still have same issue and idle time, you can record your laptop/PC screen perhaps using CamStudio-Free Screen Recording Software which I generally use to record my laptop screen and let us know If there is really something wrong with HTML disable/enable feature.

    Each post is unique with its own metadata as a snapshot of your profile set up at a particular time when the post(s) have been created.

    If you had in your profile set allow html, and posted post, it holds such metadata. If you later changed to not allow html and posted another post, it didn't change metadata of previous post. If you'd click edit (let's assume you are allowed), you'd see ticked or un-tickd allow html as it was at that time when you posted that very post, but not subsequent.

    Ganesh is right, record what you mean, because we are having hard times to understand what the issue is. I'd like to think no issue there at all.

    Anyway, all getting too long.

    I have mentioned before, that each thread, post is unique with its own captured metada during the time it was created. If you were trying to edit one of FAQ pages, and that tick wasn’t there, that means post has such metadata regardless of your own profile preferences. Preferences are taken into account only for new posts - that makes sense, doesn’t it?

    Ok now on i focus on that quote i.e. on new posts .
    So
    precondition : if i create a new thread and post with edit's Options Disable HTML unticked && Preferences Enable HTML ticked  
    postcondition : In all my latter posts in the same thread Disable HTML have to   look unticked right?

    Just checked your recording. So I explained twice already in this thread: 4 days ago and earlier today why it is like that. Behaviour is expected and wanted like that, so no bug, that is what we verified also with Ganesh 4 days ago.
