Why Are Links Not Working?
FreeRepublic ^ | Today | OneVike

Posted on 11/26/2020 7:37:04 PM PST by OneVike

I have been posting articles on FR off and on for 22 years, and in that time I have become very good at using HTML to create the type of posts I like. Yet ever since FR changed the carrier of the site, none of my links work on articles I post. I have not changed what I use as HTML code, it's just that what I use does not work on FR any more. And not only links, but much of the HTML on my profile page is all screwed up as well.

Is there a logical reason for this?

I’ve had no problem with using any html, links, pics, headings etc.

obligatory Are You Logged In?

Ty clearing your browser cache. My profile page and posted links are all working fine.

Unless the NSA hacked into your system.

This link you had in your previous post: Philippians 4:6

Is pointing to a FreeRepublic address, not an external one.

"posting articles on FR off and on for 22 years"

Very strange.

I do not see your handle on the Donor List.

what browser are you using?

look at the “ marks, if they are curly quote marks it won’t work

try posting a pic then look at the html that returns, maybe the browser is changing them mid stream

This link you had in your previous post: Philippians 4:6 Is pointing to a FreeRepublic address, not an external one.

That has always been the case if I paste from a links to links to a portion within a web page, like on his home page here
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance?
, but pasting the code from a web page works, like here: REVEALING STATISTICS (or, Present Costs of the War Against God)

The same one I have used for 10 years. The same code I have used for 22 years.

Nothing I did has changed

This is the second article I wrote and it got screwed up on the HTML after I posted it.

I check all my links and they worked in the previews before I hit post.

Then when I checked the post they were all screwed up.

The only thing that changed was FR. NOT ME!

Exactly. Like I said I changed nothing, and this is the second time this has happened.
