Hi,
I have a question about using URL as media. As source documentation I have added to my INDI records some hundred links to scanned Church Records that are freely available on the internet. In PGV 3.8 the links was shown with a media icon and the description was clickable. In v4.0 and 1b3 it shows as a missing image file a red cross in and description when viewd with IE6 and just description with firefox. See http://www.thomas.rindal.name/phpGedView/media/Snap1.png.
Is there a different or better way to accomplish clickable links to a URL for every event?

Previously this worked great to document and make available the treasury of Norwegian public Church Records, where each page is referenced with a permanent URL, for example
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=5046&idx_id=5046&uid=ny&idx_side=-33

To follow up myself, I have tried to use source/citation details, which probably should work as a link.
However, there seems to be a problem when the URL contains the colon character.
When th URL is in our case http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=480&idx_id=480&uid=ny&idx_side=-35
(this is standard for +10 million pages) The clickable part is only http://www.arkivverket.no/URN
