I think the first one will link to tildes.net/abc/news.ycombinator.com which is wrong, but hey what do I know.

edit1: OK, so yeah.. correct assumption. Prolly normal?

edit2: new link, no subdomain, no https:// YC Link

So yeah always need a properly formatted URL, otherwise will assume that it's a relative link.. prolly how the web works, but is it ideal? I will check on reddit for comparison.

edit3: reddit test: Using markdown, reddit requires a fully valid url which includes the protocol. But using the new fancy editor, it does not.

Not sure what I accomplished here :)
