Why does an address on Answers only appear as a link sometimes.?
Other times it types out in normal print and you have to cut and paste to get to the site.

Addresses have two formats on Yahoo! Answers.
1) www.yahoo.com (no link)
2) http://www.yahoo.com/ (a link)
Simply, if you have included the "http://"/ prefix, the website will be linked to. If you do not, it will appear as plain text. That way, you can decide whether you want to link or not.
Hope this helps!
P.S. Technically, you are supposed to use "http://"/ even when typing an address into the address bar. But nowadays, our browsers do it for us, so people fell out of the habit.

Simple.
The reason is because whoever designed this site was too lazy to have it look for www.something.something. It would have been nice, but it's looking for http.
www.yahoo.com
See the difference...?
