As advised by an Althemy team member, I'm officially reporting the bug that made my writing experience miserable in the previous few blog posts. The links I insert disappear when I post a blog. And the problem is happening not with outside links, but with links WITHIN the Althemy site.
Example: in one of my blogs, I wanted to refer to a topic that I've written about before, so I copied and pasted the link in the text. ("...to read more about it, click here: PASTED LINK"). Again, I'm underlining that said link referred to my Althemy site here, to an article I wrote a couple days ago. However, the moment I posted the blog, the link simply disappeared, leaving the text in the following sad state: "...to read more about it, click here: " with an embarrassing hole after the colon.
I know you're overwhelmed with other issues at the moment, but this is a horribly annoying bug, so I hope it can be fixed sooner rather than later. There, it's officially reported now
