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?

Did not say you had to.

Most FReepers are proud of their cause and Free Republic.

As in MS Word?

Maybe try a notepad/text editor. Copy from it and paste in the FR posting window.

So based on my earlier comment, I decided to explore disabling Smart Quotes on my iPad, and it turns out to be simple: Settings -> General -> Keyboard and then switch off the Smart stuff.

And now my apostrophe is ' and my double-quote is " and all is right with the world. :-)

What’s the difference between the Hebrew links and the other links that are working?

I just looked at the source code for your link and you have

target="”blank”">

Two types of quotation marks must have been cut-and-pasted by mistake from another place or it may be what was added that breaks the link.

I saw that. For some reason freerepublic is prefixed to the addresses. It makes no sense that FR would do that to those but not to all the others.

https://freerepublic.com/~onevike/%E2%80%9Dhttps://www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/heb/13/17/s_1146017%E2%80%9D

instead of

https://www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/heb/13/17/s_1146017

%E2%80%9D is a quote and some junk. Must be in your source. You might have to look at the hex level or manually retype.

As a result of this thread I figured out how to disable Smart Quotes on my iPad, so Hooray and Thank You. Now my links will work without having to screw around.

Settings -> General -> Keyboard then switch off the Smart stuff.

I'm looking at the source HTML for your profile, the blockquote for

Hebrews 13:17 and Hebrews 13:24

You have extra occurences of double-quotes.

You have no URL address target for Hebrews 13:24

You have (I entered spaces, again trying to defeat HTML being active):

< blockquote >< center >< i > ( < a href = "” https://www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/heb/13/17/s_1146017 ”" target = "” blank ”" >Hebrews 13:17< /a > )

Obey your leaders and submit to them,for they keep watch over
your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this
with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

( < a href = "”" target = "” blank ”" >Hebrews 13:24< /a > )

Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.< /i >< / center >< / blockquote >

Yeah, don’t use an editor for html that inserts special characters for printer formatting.

It looks like they figured it out above.   Use only Notepad to setup your HTML instead of any other fancy word processor that could cause a funky interpolation when it gets to the newly hosted FR platform.   You weren't imagining it and it is probably happening to others.

quotes and iOS are a problem since the site migrated. I’ve noticed that. I couldn’t post a gif the other night.

Part Serval; degree of ‘wild’ part depends upon the filial generation level (the one I posted is an F1. Not sure I’d want one of those in my little apartment.):

I got some time. We’re both recovering from Tripthane Coma and now working on the Chocolate Pie settling now. Everything put away and Kitchen cleaned up. Got Kings Hawaiian Rolls stuffed with Bird ready for the 04:30 snackzone.
