Transfer the Bongino link from your phone using the BROWSER URL window. Dont use share or other buttons.(never did this) EMAIL it to your laptop/desktop and try dropping it raw into the USMB editor

That's how I ALWAYS do it.

I know how to copy and paste a link from my browser. It's what I've ALWAYS done. I'm trying to explain that I simply can't PASTE anything with "https://" It WON'T PASTE.

It changed in February.

I know that but the question is valid because a security update could be the cause of the problem and your laptop can have the same problem since you have Google in both of them.

where did the bongino link COME from originally? Phone or laptop? What Operating System/Browser? I'm asking questions and giving solutions but your not answering or clarifying.

For awhile I haven't been able to directly post links or youtube videos from my phone, which I use almost exclusively.

You didn't clarify this. And others chimed in about images and videos.

The problem is "the bolding" of some parts of the URL. Told you how to remove the URL formatting stuff (whatever its intent was/is).

WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT BOLDING in the URLs? Phone/laptop/desktop? Did ya check what spyware/malware those are running for maybe BEING THE SOURCE of that bolding?

We're not doing it. Something you installed/updated suddenly started that troublesome formatting of the URLs. If ya dont answer questions -- I cant guess at helping you fix anything.

Yea it just happened around middle of February I have to copy like you do in note book, copy from note book and paste here

But you tube works fine but the attach files are back to the old way again

Is there "bolding" in parts of the URLs? If so, I gave a fix above using the tools in the USMB editor.

I actually posted this thread wondering if it was a glitch in the forum software. Still have no idea

Not a glitch in the forum software. The URL formatting is the problem. Some tech entity decided to add formatting characters to URLs that need to be removed.

Use the Remove Formatting tool that is in the USMB Editor toolbox.

Nope. cant post youtube links from my laptop.

Here's where you said you had issues posting videos !!!

Do THESE links include bolding in the https:// characters? Can you post one here that doesn't link up?

Pentagon rejects NATO nations providing jets to Ukraine

Firm Pentagon ‘no’ to Polish plan to send jets to Ukraine - NewsBreak

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon on Wednesday slammed the door on a Polish proposal for providing Ukraine with MiG fighter jets, saying allied efforts against the Russian invasion should be focused on more useful weaponry and the MiG transfer with a U.S. and NATO connection would run a “high risk”...

No, the forum software isn't the problem since others have no problems with it YOUR phone set up is the problem. Why are you ignoring FlaCalTenn suggestions to fix it?

Did your phone get a security/software update last month? this is now the third time you have been asked.

No. I copy straight urls from the editor. They simply don't PASTE.

Thanks for your help, and I CAN post videos and links when I go thru the procedure that I've been doing the last 6 weeks.

I'm gonna leave it at that.

I appreciate your help though, but I'm leaving this thread.

One last thing before I leave this thread.

I CAN paste links in the field that pops up when you click the link icon, so that's how I'll post article links from now on. That doesn't change the fact that I can no longer paste raw urls into the text editor like I could a few weeks ago.
