Is there a reason why links aren't clickable in the text of a submission while they are in comments? For almost every text submission I see that someone has to submit a comment with a "clickable link". I'm interested as to why this hasn't been fixed yet (if there actually is a reason.)
The text of a submission should be the title text of the article being submitted. This is unlikely to contain a link. thus the need to supply such functionality is just about zero.
Editorialising the title of a submission is not encouraged at HN.
Probably because it would be an easy way to get links back to your site for SEO reasons. Google loves HN. Yes I know all links are nofollow, but I could imagine Google following them anyway.
