Let’s see if I can explain this well enough to actually help:
When writing a blog here at Fab40, I might have several links I want to embed behind actual text, so that when someone reading the blog clicks on the text, they are hyperlinking to the website address provided.
My method: I type the text; I select the little chain icon at the top of the box; I enter the website address.
If I’m entering the main page of the website address, like [Link Removed] then I usually have no issues with the link working.
However, if I am entering a specific page within the website, like [Link Removed] the Fab40 embedding functionality adds another backslash ( / ) at the end of the website address, making it:
[Link Removed]
Nine times out of ten, that will “break” the link and when it is clicked, it will result in a “page cannot be displayed” message instead of going to the website.
I know this because when I go back in and remove that final backslash, then the link works fine.
Again, this in only when embedding the link “behind” text.
Is this something I am doing wrong, or a glitch in the functionality?
Well, as you can see, even that didn’t work because the system included the commas after the first links entered, even though I think it should know to stop with .com. So the first links are broken.
Then, because of the mask put on the second link entered, you can’t even see it properly to know what I’m talking about. 
I’ve encountered lots of broken links in others’ blogs because of the same thing with it picking up periods and commas and adding the backslash at the end.
Any ideas, Victor?
Bumping this back up in the hopes that our techie gurus will see it! 
At this point, I’m looking forward to hearing if they understood my questions, lol.
Victori since we are touching on this subject, can you explain the chain link sign and the computer screen sign that are next to the smiley faces? What are the differences and is the computer screen sign still applicable?
