It was too good to be true. Put a clickable URL in over here, put an e-mail address over there. It’s just like all the other systems. Yes, the http:// part is a bit of a hassle.
Well, LinkedIn has changed the game. As of now, users can no longer put a clickable link in an E-Mail Invitation. You are warned in bright Red language when you try (“We’re sorry, you cannot include website addresses in Invitations. Please remove the website information.“). It will not let you SEND with this information included. I have tried the http:// with a space after it and the system does not reject it, but it is not clickable either.
At this point, this feature removal is limited to just Invitations. Messages, Forwards, Replies, InMails, Introductions all seem to be unaffected at this time.
