Links not clickable in ChatGPT 4o

Links are not clickable, no matter what prompt I use the stupid AI never adds the link so that I can click it and view it.

same, I have also been running into this. I had to ask several times for the correct formatting. I checked the HTML source and noticed the anchor tags were disappearing or nonexistent. I think the issue fixed itself after I refreshed the page, started a new chat, and then returned to the previous chat. makes no sense

Until you sue them or report them for torture they will not fix anything, be sure of it.

Speedy removing bugs and/or viewing at the bug thread on this forum, is not a thing OpenAI is good at. They got billions from Microsoft, so why not use some of that to remove bugs.
A single OpenAI programmer can fix this issue in a few minutes. You don’t need 100 of them.

Providing the custom instruction
settings->personalize->custom instructions->How would you like ChatGPT to respond?-> “Always place the full URL in the href attribute of any HTML link you reference.”
has fixed this issue for me.

But please any future reader, downvote any replies you’ve had with broken links. This is the most likely way to make openai fix this issue. If enough people say the same, a pattern will be recognized.

I recommend we all give similar feedback such as
“a html links in responses dont contains a href link and are useless”

This way the pattern may be recognized faster.

Do you mean upvote?

I agree that visibility is important. Squeaky wheel gets the grease :grin:
