1. First, I quoted the post directly above, the one titled EXPERIMENT#1.

This link works as desired. Note that the text of the link contains dots. When clicked, it takes me to a thread in the Tech Library, as desired. |
2. Then I went back to EXPERIMENT#1 again, highlighted the link, copied it onto my clipboard, and pasted it here.

The link now appears in three places. It
looks the same in all three, each one containing the dots. But the original link works, and the link in the quote works, but the copied-and-pasted link does not. The copy/paste operation copied the dots, but not the stashed characters they represent.
3. The lesson here is:
* * * WHEN CREATING A POST, DO NOT COPY/PASTE A LINK INTO IT. * * *
I hope this clears up some of the confusion.
