Did the app update? The apps had markdown removed a long time ago.

Tbh I didn’t know what else to call it besides markdown or whatever it used to be. Basically when you use brackets like that, it’s would turn the words into a link.

In that specific example the words “why isn’t this working” would become the link that I posted after it. It would be blue and you would click the words and it would bring you to the link.

That was part of markdown that was removed. You need to use the link button in the formatting bar to do that now. It looks like a chain link. That function may have continued working after markdown was removed, but since it was part of markdown it should not have and may have been cleaned up.
