Thanks for the help! I keep forgetting that FM really doesn't like hyperlinks and goes out of its way to break them. I used 'open in new tab' twice this morning on this forum, you'd think would have learned that that isn't allowed here by now...
Just because forum software might break raw URLs, doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed. URLs can all kinds of weird characters in them and some of those might used as pattern or delimiters in parsing what you typed in your post text field and how the forum translates that into a nicer forum view. Usually a colon isn’t used in a typical web address, it used to be disallowed in older versions of web html. Their site should use typical query params or other appropriate constructs I feel.
All forums provide you the ability to put in hyperlinks or urls, you just have to use it. In fact the same exists for office products like MS word etc, where you can put in your link, then type the text you want to display for that link.
In FM if you look at the tool bar next to the box you type in, there is a button that has the earth and an chain link. Click that the next time you want to post an url. Viola, FM supports web links!
