It works if your link has a http then a colon : then two forward slashes or just be sure your link has a colon after the https and it'll work. The reason it's not working ...somehow, the colon is being omitted. And if you look at the link after you paste it , it should only have ONE http then a colon or https and a colon, followed by two forward slashes, and no spaces, then the rest of the address will work.
I think it's TMI ,but we try to help.
