If I want to post from Google, I usually click on the Google result to go to the actual page, and the copy and paste the URL from there, and then it will work normally.
Ah, also: if a url does not start with www. ProZ.com seems not to recongize it as a link; but in that case, it's not truncated, and so easy enough to simply copy/paste into your browser adress bar.

Try using http instead of https.

I tried pasting a link in the "explanation" box and both "reference" boxes and this happened:
Explanation box: nicely boldfaced and clickable.
1st reference box: I deleted (overwrote) the "http://" that was already in the box, and the link is **NOT** clickable.
2st reference box: I appended the link to the "http://" and the link is clickable, albeit ugly-looking with that "http://https://".
If you swap the content in the 1st and 2nd ref. boxes, the link with "http://" overwritten is still not clickable, and the other is.

Often I copy "difficult" links into Notepad, edit them there and then copy them into a posting. This works.

In your example
Jeu_de_lev%C3%A9es
should have been posted as
Jeu_de_levées
This improves the readability and will be treated correctly by the ProZ server. %xx codes are html crutches for non-English letters.

Example: Somebody writes (Please see here: http:\\myLink), but the ProZ software will include the trailing bracket into the link, i. e. the link becomes http:\\myLink) instead of http:\\myLink. ▲ Collapse

Thank you, Daniel,
You hit the nail on the head: KudoZ doesn't know how to deal with https links. I have just updated
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_dutch/other/6427405-faire_le_pli.html
The http link is clickable and the https link isn't.
Cheers,
Gerard
