Hi – it was not so much a glitch as the way it was designed in the social architecture there  – but we found a good solution that overrides it and also fixes the same issue with links in forum posts in one go. Yay! Thank you!

Also, we made this editor here a little nicer!

By the way i was testing the instagram link in your profile and my 11 year old-boy happened to come in and see  your Venetian glass vase painting and exclaimed ‘Wow! THAT is aMAZing’.
