Why, when answering a question and posting some information links - all of them are not showing up as 'links'?

    This seems to be another addition to the anti-spamming programming code - or a glitch. The limit for links in an answer now seems to be 3 - and more than that don't become clickable. You can try moving some of them to the Source box and see if that helps.

    The limit on 3 *clickable* links per answer has also been retroactively applied to all OLD answers as well, a travesty to those trying to get good info about something where much of the info originally given will no longer be available. (Many people here don't even know how to copy+paste urls into their browsers, or won't bother.)

    The 10 clickable links under Sources still seems to be available--for now. Makes using this system for any but simple answers to simple questions, or those without examples, back up references, etc, really clunky and possibly not worth it. The glass may never be half-full for me if that continues.

    It is a new limit or glitch. One thing to try is to post and then edit to add more.
