That's exactly what I get when I try to post a link

Are you guys using the link tool in the editor, or just pasting the link into the message text? I'm doing the latter and it works just fine.

I had been doing it through the link tool and getting this result My link

 

And now I tried it the other way by pasting the link into the message text {which I never knew you could do } and BINGO.....WE HAVE LIFT OFF

Thanks Dan for clarifying that

I would just paste the link from one of my old posts, now when I paste it, the link doesn't work??? Any suggestions?

That's because the board abbreviates the VISIBLE text that comprises a link, but not the actual link. If you are going to copy an existing link from elsewhere on the board, you can't just copy and paste the visible text; you have to right-click on the link and copy the link location itself and paste it.
