Found examples of a link that works (Gathering Teams screen shot) and one that doesn't (Event Zoom Host Guide).
If I got you a link to these posts would that help?

Also, my wife (on her Google Pixel) just tried signing up for our new group and was not able select the Next button. Might be a link issue again.
This is a pretty serious bug though. It was on a separate phone (same vintage as mine 3.5 years old). But this is blocking some folks from joining our group (and others?).

Gideon Rosenblatt: That is more likely to be a separate bug.
And from the screen-shot, this is from the mobile web app (in the browser), not the mobile app, correct?
Thomas Watson
Gideon Rosenblatt: Links would be handy, for sure.

Thomas Watson ah, yeah, I think you're right. Want me to add a separate bug report?

Thomas Watson as I was trying to get those links, I ran into another issue that I will include here in case it's related.
One of the links was to here:
It seems that even these links to the Hylo website render in the Hylo app. In this case, that link just routes me back to our home page in the app. I was looking to see whether that URL is no longer valid (seems like you all updated the site), so looked for it in my browser, and when I clicked on it and other pages in your site from both Chrome and Firefox, it renders automatically in the Hylo app and your not able to scroll below the bottom of the visible page (see attached).

Here is one post where our links are not clickable:
And another from another group:
Thomas Watson
Gideon Rosenblatt: I will file it, all good
Thomas Watson
Gideon Rosenblatt: Probably a separate issue (the 'landing page' and the hylo app code are built from two different code bases and routed to under the one 'domain' (hylo.com). So there is a routing table that handles the navigation between the two and this is an example of how it might have a conflict. I'll file a separate ticket
Thomas Watson
Gideon Rosenblatt Thanks for the links
So I am checking this post you shared, on my android:
There is a youtube link that opens yuotube
in the app
, instead of outside of it and that is a separate bug (I've filed that).And there are heaps of linkedIn links that work as I expect.
And one link "Living Resources Document" that I can't click.
Does that match your experience? Or you can't click any of them?

What version of the app are you using Gideon Rosenblatt
G
Gideon Rosenblatt
Thomas Watson 7.0.3
Thomas Watson
Gideon Rosenblatt: thanks for confirming that.
I'm also on 7.0.3 and I've been clicking on links in all sorts of places, so I'm trying to narrow down where specifically this is happening and what might be the cause.
So I'm curious how modern your android is, whether its only happening in one group (or everywhere) and any other specific details you can give me to help narrow it down

Thomas Watson - see my comments above. My Pixel is probably 3.5 years old.
I also tried links in other groups. In the Bioregional Commons, here's a post where the first link (to YouTube) doesn't resolve but all of the ones at the bottom do.
