Has anyone else noticed that the GOG site is not linking URL's properly in the Wishlist? If one creates a wish with a description, the URL will look properly on the first screen. But once the wish is posted the link doesn't work and it just shows HTML code like class="light_un".

Yes, it's been like that for ages and it's very annoying since one would naturally want to click those links to learn more about the proposed games.

To be honest, the community wishlist must be at the very bottom on GOG's priorities. I see it more like a "nice to have" that has somewhat survived the site redesigns but doesn't impact much the big picture.

Another possibility is that whoever coded the community wishlist in the first place doesn't work at GOG anymore and now they are scared to touch it (wouldn't be the first time).

Yeah, I really wish they would fix that bug. I think when the "new" website was released, that's what broke all of the links in the wishlist.
My theory in 2015 was that staff tried to fix a script injection vulnerability and broke the parser in the process: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/so_this_is_interesting/post58
Seems to have been finally fixed and line breaks as well as URLs are parsed properly and displayed correctly now.
At last! Between this and the counters in the dropdown menu, maybe someone's finally been assigned some time to fix long-standing bugs on the website. :-)

Let's hope the fixed version has been properly tested for script injection vulnerabilities.
