@Vincent: Yes the problem has been here since a while and I am not sure why admins didn't give an eye to this one. Until then I believe the solution is to use the text-only URLs. :-) I will also submit this as an idea/suggestion. It needs your support now http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/ideas/hyperlinks-in-the-forums-sections

@Afzaal - This is crazy. Actually my first attempt was to use the link directly but It' doesn't allow me to post a reply. I mean It will just reload the page and my reply will not be shown. I thought the hyperlinks tool works because it allows me to post a reply. It's weird. I'm using Chrome by the way. Tested it on IE too but to no avail.

Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan · Answer

@Vincent: There is a problem with the hyperlinks in the forums tab. Just the way your links are text-only the links would be missed for future readers. I suggest you use URLs instead of the text as a hyperlink. That would make sure that user can still copy and paste the URL in their browser to access the content. :-)

Let your friends read this: 10 Reasons why ASP.NET is Not Worth Choosing For As you may know ASP.NET is already open-source and it now enable you to RUN and Deploy your apps anywhere. Your PHP friends are afraid of ASP.NET because they think it's complex ~ (well it's kinda but not with the latest versions of ASP.NET). The quick way to learn ASP.NET is introduce them to ASP.NET Web Pages first before moving to ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET Web Pages is likely similar to other scripting language such as PHP and classic ASP so they can easily adjust.

First of all you should consider using ASP.NET (itself) when you have to build the web application to be hosted on IIS server on Windows Server environment. PHP is preferred on Apache server on Linux environment. Secondly ASP.NET is a web application development framework built on top of .NET framework. If you want to have the power and extensibility of .NET framework then go for ASP.NET instead of PHP. There are frameworks in PHP too but in ASP.NET most of the stuff comes right out of the box. Long story short: Prefer ASP.NET in case of a Windows Server and .NET environment prefer PHP in case of Linux servers and Apache servers. But did you know you can use ASP.NET on other platforms too? Go to https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/ and read more about installing and setting up environment for ASP.NET on other platforms too just not Windows. Finally read about Publishing the application for ASP.NET: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/publishing/index.html
