If anyone uses ancestry.com, are you having issues pasting citation sources from familysearch.com?
I just noticed all the source citations I researched last night did not copy/paste properly. When copied into ancestry.com, the URLs/links get scrambled. At first it appears correct, but if re-opened, its all scrambled and will not work. An error code from ancestry will appear. I am using Chrome Browser and even cleared cookies/cached data and still.
When pasting link directly to a blank Chrome page it works fine, must be issue with ancestry.
Example:
This
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-QB9X-9B?i=94&wc=3JF8-Z…
gets turned to this:
https%3a%2f%2fwww.familysearch.org%2fark%3a%2f61903%2f3%3a1%3a939L-QB9X-9B%3fi%3d94%2…
Any ideas?

For those who use ancestry, I just reached out to them and they are having issues with hyperlinks not posting correctly. They said they are "on it"
I began using the "Other Information" box to post links for now till the issue is solved. It is above the "Web Address" box if this helps.
I sourced at least 50-60 links last night from familysearch.com and the hyperlinks are all broken. This is disappointing.
