The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.
I don't moderate any comments on my blog as I think everyone should be free to say what they want instead of anyone nannying them. However, if any one posts any link in the comments, Blogger automatically deactivates it and it appears as plain text.
How do I enable html links in my comments? I know it has the potential to be abused, but I think if one any posts a link to any intersting informattion, it should be clickable but Blogger does not let me do that.

As far as I know html is already enabled.
Or see if there is any option for enabling/disabling html under Settings>Comments, though I doubt it.
Thanks for the reply. There is no option for enabling html in the comment settings.
If anyone puts a link like http://www.google.com in the comments, it appears as plain text, not clickable
The html code is getting deleted by the system automatically!!
@ DS What is it that you are trying to say?
Even I did not get your problem, DS?
When I type the html code that Ranjith has given below, the code disappears... Only the message is displayed.
< a href= "www.example.com">Example</a>
This is how your users need to place clickable links. I think that URL's placed in comments will not be autolinked.
Aha, thanks Ranjith. Again sorry for being such a noob but I want to display this information in the comment form message so that all the the readers might know how to put a link. I wrote this in the comment form message but now it appears as a link!!
This is the message I want to display - "If you want put a link in the comment, put it as <a href="linked website">link text </a> and it should be clickable". But the whole <a href="linked website">link text </a> is not appearing, instead this appears "If you want put a link in the comment, put it as link text and it should be clickable."
How do I display the message entire in the comment form message?
That's a new problem now!
Display that message at the end of your post instead of the comment box.
To avoid too much of manual work follow the steps here http://obscuredclarity.blogspot.com/2009/02/add-html-footer-to-every-post-of-your.html which will add the required text to the end of every post: the exisiting ones and the new ones that you will be creating.
Here again, don't type it as text for you will get the same result again. First type that text somewhere, take a screenshot and use that iamge instead of text as a footer.
Very unique problem I must say, even I was thinking how this can be countered...
Before you enable disqus please read other threads existing on the forum on the disqus topic. It has many disadvantages.
Thanks everyone for pitching in and special thanks to Ranjith
. I will definitely try out your suggestion!
