Has anyone noticed?

Short entry.

I have been surfing around J-land and noticed something different.  Something strange, but wonderful.  Anyone else notice?

I have seen some comments being left that have actual working links in them.  Yep, saw a couple where the commenter left a link to their journal -- and it showed up in blue so I clicked on it and wham, I am at their journal. 

I love this feature though.  Am I the last one to know?

When did this happen?  Is it everywhere?  What is going on?  We got a new toy and no one told me?

Kathy~ John Scalzi's Journal has the data on this. AOL did an upgrade and this is one of the new features. I wish they would do something more with pictures. OK I'm trying it. Suzy Colorado

OK now I know you still have to do the whole link cut and paste.

i hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it Kathy .. since we got the comment alert feature, i seldom (if ever) actually read the comments in my journal
now if people could just get the URL to their journal correct we'd be in business .. i still wish AOL would allow us a "default" email address and journal url .. it would make things a whole lot easier eh?
but it is an improvement !!  thanks for mentioning it to me (the REAL last one to know) lol

oh and i have to add the link to my journal of course hehe

i suppose the key to making it a clickable link is to hit return after the url ?
its been so long since i typed it i hope i got it right lol

For Heaven's sakes that works.  I hope people start leaving their links in my journal, it will make it so much easier for me to visit them more often! -Krissy
