    When you login to QA we get this:

    Daily Message: Welcome to the Player Test Environment!

    If you haven't already, please consider joining the Bug Brigade! https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-bug-brigade-rides-again.164901/
    Daily Message: Please be sure to look at the current testing directives in the PTE Forum. The Dev Team will post specific items, features, or mechanics that we are looking to have tested here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?forums/player-test-environment-qa-server.2390/

    In game, these just show the text to the link where these posts are. You cannot click them to go to that specific post. You do actually have the ability to make these a hyperlink that players can click on to go to the actual post. Can you make both of these go to these specific posts in the daily announcement on QA?

    Thanks!

    I don't think they have enabled hyperlinks in the chat window yet. When this happens to me, I just use the data folder command to get to the chat log file and copy and paste the link into a browser. "/datafolder" in the text chat box will open a windows explorer to the folder containing the chatlog folder and other sota folders. It is the folder above the chat logs so just look in the folder and double click the subfolder chatlogs and find your avatar name and todays date and open that .txt file with notepad. Then you can copy and paste the hyperlink into a browser.

    As stated above, they do have this. When you log into live, there’s a link to both the community events page and now the community guidelines. You click these links and they open to those pages on the forums.

    Corrected this on the QA server ... Both the Bug Brigade Article and the Testing Directives should display as links correctly now.
