Where did you get the URL to paste? From the address bar (where it was plaintext) or from somewhere else (where it might have already been a link)?

I got it from the address bar in a Chrome browser.

I'm having a hard time reproducing your issue. Please make me a member of the CAT group so that I don't have to do it manually and so that I can see your problematic post.

When I'm in the group admin screen and I select "send invites," I don't see your name listed among the members I can invite. And while there is a search box there, nothing gets pulled up through ajax when I start typing (and there is no submit button). So, I'm unable to invite you -- though can invite the boonesuper account.

Must have something to do with the fact that I'm a site admin. Will you invite teststudent?

Test Student invited. but (just fyi), still no ajax (in the past, when I checked a name on the list, it appeared in the column to the right of the member listing. If you don't get the invite, please let me know.

ajax problem fixed. Please try resending to teststudent

Nice work. I invited you instead of teststudent since your account came up on the ajax search.

I tried about twenty different things and I couldn't reproduce what's on that forum page. Would you mind trying to reproduce it yourself, in a private group, taking very careful note of the steps you take?

On an unrelated note, I just added a feature to the plugin that addresses your concern about links in email notifications. A link like <a href="http://google.com">Check out Google</a>, through the magic of regex, appears in the notification as Check out Google (http://google.com), and the url should automatically be linked in the email, depending on email client.

When you have a chance, Boone, can you take a look at the post Luke put up on the LMS (Blackboard and Alternatives) group forum (http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/lms-blackboard-and-alternatives)?

I notice a few things:

1. In the list of recently active forum topics, I see HTML anchor code

2. When the notification was emailed out, I didn't see the link formatted as you suggested it would in the note above (the post came through without any link).

Thanks for your attention to this; no rush, though.
