href attribute disappears after editing listing

[+bneiman]

I'm trying to submit a set of new cache listings with links pointing to each other and to an external website. I submit the page with links like the following

 

<a href=”http://coord.info/GCxxxxx”>cache name (GCxxxxx)</a>

<a href=”http://www.townoflloyd.com/pages/lloydny_webdocs/illinoistrail”>Town of Lloyd website</a>

 

but viewing the page source after submission, the links look like

 

<a>cache name (GCxxxxx)</a>

<a>Town of Lloyd website</a>

 

The href attribute completely disappears, and of course the links are broken. What's going on?

You are using "smart" quotes to enclose your links (""), probably because you are pasting from some other source. You will need to use plain text quotes ("").

The new, improved cache listing system appears to have broken the HTML filtering functions.

 

You could post an issue in the bugs & features forum:

Thank you very much, that was exactly the problem.
