[KNOWN ISSUE] BUG REPORT: Mobile App no longer parsing STRAVA LINKS or INTERNET LINKS

There is a new bug associated with a recent app update: When you visit a Club Event in the app, links are no longer clickable or highlighted. 

EVEN WORSE: You cannot highlight text, which would at least allow you to copy-and-paste the link into a mobile browser.  

To summarize:  Event description links cannot be clicked, whether they are links within Strava or internet links!  The text of Event Posts cannot be highlighted or copied.  The Event text is effectively an image of text that cannot be interacted with in any meaningful way.   

 

*** THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR CLUBS ***

  • We need people to be able to click the link to sign liability waivers
  • We need people to be able to access our website, so they can review our ride guidelines
  • We need to people to access map links, so they know where to… gather at the start, park their cars, or where the end-of-ride meetup is going to take place.

[Side note:  I don’t want to turn one bug into something bigger, but this is really part of a larger trend. For years we’ve been getting notes and communications about how much Strava cares about clubs, about how it wants to interact with club leaders and help us build communities, about how it is going to improve club features, about how important we are to Strava…  But every couple of months you folks really hurt our ability to do basic things, like organize rides and events.  As I’ve said many times before, sometimes it feels like you folks are trying to drive clubs away from your platform.  I’m sure that’s not the goal, but it sure is the potential outcome when these things happen so regularly - combined with little evidence of *meaningful* improvements to the club experience or functionality over so many years.]

@Lola , just bringing this to the attention of folks more closely connected to Clubs on Strava. Thanks in advance for your help in making this known, so it can be fixed! 

We have a club event tomorrow and nobody can access links from the app.  It’s a huge issue!  And we’ve got another club event next weekend…
