Magnet links in title of posts no longer clickable

Occasionally I get magnet links to torrent files in the title of posts. I could click on them and that opened my torrent client app. This no longer works. I can ‘Copy link’ the title and paste that in my torrent client app and that works so the magnet links are valid.

I do not know if this change of behaviour was caused by changes in NNW or macOS.

I’m not sure when it changed. It was working until a few weeks ago. Magnet links in web pages still work fine in Safari (which is the browser set to open links to in NNW).

Good catch! We’ve got it on the bug tracker: https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/issues/5470

One thing would help me: can you share the URL of a feed that includes magnet links? (You can DM me instead of replying here if you’d rather)

It’s working again nicely in the latest beta. Thanks.
