HTML links to external sites broken in project updates

Hello,

I recently tried to update my project page with links to an external website. I used the standard HTML <a href="">link text</a> method, but iNat added the URL of the journal to the link when I posted.

So <a href="https:/sbbg.regfox.com/tf-returning-scientists-313-9-am-training">training link!</a> took me to:
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/mapping-recovery-in-the-thomas-fire-scar/journal/”https:/sbbg.regfox.com/tf-returning-scientists-313-9-am-training”, which obviously does not exist.

Am I missing something very obvious, or is this a bug where iNat is trying to redirect internally for some reason?

Thanks for any suggestions.
