    At for example

    (I'm entering that one URL twice, in case there's an issue with Internet standard enclosure in angle brackets)

    hyperlinks previously evident are missing.

    OK so this seems to be a problem with (Internet standard) angle brackets.

    Are the URLs that have gone missing lost, permanently? Or can they be restored?

    TIA

    See my highlights from the Standard at

    "http://www.diigo.com/annotated/c3f9ed98a3d939725846ca035ad1bb32"

    - all three representations of that one URI should be legible.

    Another example of unexpected behaviour:

    the three URLs alongside points a) b) and c) are not hyperlinks. Other URLs in the same message are hyperlinks.

    Please, what are the criteria for successful hyperlinking?

    In that instance, I worked around the issue by editing affected lines so that

    * each line that includes a URL _begins_ with that URL.

    As I'm correcting posts after posting (a side-effect of there being no preview feature) I see some HTML.

    I wonder, would it help to add Kupu or FCKeditor to Diigo forums UI?

    Kupu could be a good choice. Considering http://www.diigo.com/list/grahamperrin/webkit-kupu-plone most of what's there would not bug users here (hint: configure Kupu to not offer the menu of styles; headings and subheadings are surplus to requirements in these forums).

    Another example of unexpected behaviour:

    - the first of three URLs is not hyperlinked

    - the second is only partially hyperlinked; the resulting reference is incorrect

    - the third is correct.

    > - the first of three URLs is not hyperlinked

    This bug recurred today in a private group.

    It seems to bite sometimes, not always, for URLs that are not at the beginning (left hand extreme) of a line.

    For this reason my habit, a precaution against the bug, is to use a line break before any hyperlink.
