they should, but sometimes an error is generated if the link contains some non standard characters etc.

you would not use BBcode or html within the review however as that would more than likely generate an error when submitting.

Will try on my next review. It will make it so much more informative.

I submitted my review for the Banyan Resort. I must have done the links incorrectly. You can see them and copy and paste on the web to get to the site but from the review you can’t link. Please lmk how to do it correctly.

Panina,

I've used the URL tag in the past to accomplish what I think you are asking for. Here is an example:

If you want to visit You Tube, click here and your browser should open You Tube in a new tab.

Building on the post above, I am going to type the same line again, EXCEPT I am going to use

Q instead of the [
and
Z instead of the ]

I've used the URL tag in the past to accomplish what I think you are asking for. Here is an example:

If you want to visit You Tube, QURL=https://www.youtube.com/Z click here Q/URLZ and your browser should open You Tube in a new tab.

Does that help?

Obviously, Brian is a much better source on this than I am but I think I may have used this on reviews I have submitted previously.
I'll double check that though...

So when I asked “Will links work in a tug review?”
and you answered “

you would not use BBcode or html within the review however as that would more than likely generate an error when submitting.”

what did that mean?

if it cannot be done, if I want to update my review to eliminate links that don’t work how can I do that?
