Bug Report.
When a user inserts a link in a comment(possibly in the rant as well), the href attribute on the website starts the link with "www" instead of "http".

This makes the user visit a 404 on the devRant site instead of the actual link.

Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/cxhwvf

@dfox I also mailed on info@devrant.io since I was not sure how to actually report a bug.

    tested my screenshot link and that doesn't give a 404. So, its probably just comments.

    it's a feature so that people won't be able to trick other member into clicking any malicious link on devRant~… Just kidding… haha 😂

    Thanks for reporting this, I'll investigate. I'm guessing a recent deploy might have messed up some links on the web version.

    So dfox mailed be back explaining it wasn't a bug since the link had http:/// instead of double slash.
    Damn, I thought I contributed but actually I didn't!

    Haha, it's still good you reported it. Eventually we can try to figure something auto to maybe auto correct links that are mistyped like that, but doesn't happen enough to be high priority.
