It appears if you edit a link on a post starting a thread on the Android app that the link disappears and cant be replaced.

That`s my experience anyway!

Hello, this is a surprisingly thorny topic for the apps to contend with, but if everyone uses normal, official, bbcode for links, then everything should be fine. There are potential issues with the apps not presenting links that have been created using alternative techniques, such as surrounding the url in angle brackets. I remember trying to build in support for all sorts of things, but that’s going back more than 10 years now, and I struggle to remember what I did yesterday! Here’s a couple of links to the same page, using the two official techniques for creating links on forums using bbcode:
