How to add a hyperlink for resources n other references from Yahoo Answer ?

Either I submitt a question or an answer with a resource hyperlink to an external website for further reference on my comments - Yahoo answer seems not to activate this link or even display it's URL in full for others to atleast cut n paste.

Yahoo Answer was accepting links sometime ago dunno why it changed it.

Do anyone know how to still add hyperlink to a website from yahoo answer questions/answers ?

Update:

chfields - I too use to do that , but once I press the submitt button yahoo answer will diplay it not as the full address but instead after 30 character it will be truncated and continued with 3 dots.

eg:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?link=ask_add&qi...

Update 2:

vox_atrophia - thank god I heard that from you - since I thought they actualy had removed this feature. Because there many answers with references here very important to me

Update 3:

S.S. Agent Matt Tress -- Thanks alot

    Just don't panic about it. It is just the result of a recent bug (or glitch) Yahoo! Answers are facing, and Yahoo! Answers employees, Jane and Lou, have been notified and the Yahoo! Answers Team are working to fix it.
