In Game Mod list forum URLs clickable or Selectable

Post by BlackHat »

When I start a game and check my mod list (to see if there are any updates for example) many of them have Contact: links or Homepage: links, usually to Forum threads.

But I can not interact with those URLs in any way. If I want to go to that contact link, I need to manually type it into a browser window.

Being able to either:
1. Click it to open a browser and go to that link would be great.
2. Or, being able to highlight/select the link to Copy and Paste it to a browser would be acceptable.

Thanks

P.S. a quick review of some of the links shows many are out of date, Linking to old Sub-forums that no longer exhist because of the forum re-organization a year or two ago. Modders have not been keeping their Info.json file updated. :(

Would probably increase number of people who report bugs when they find any. For that matter it would also be useful to display the url on the actual error dialogue.

@Can't speak for others, but if you ever find my mods having wrong urls i'll appreciate the bug report ;).

I agree that it would be good to be selectable, and would be great if it loaded the link in a browser when you clicked on it.
