I've been posting a series of J6 videos over the past few years that show abnormal incursions into the Capitol that were atypical of MAGA followers of President Trump. One of them was of a group of long-haired youths wearing gas masks who entered a room through a broken window, and were being given orders through the window by a woman with a bullhorn.
See that video here at this link.
While searching through my posting history to locate this video, I came across prior posts where the HTML appears to have been altered, removing the actual link to the video and replacing it with a dummy stub. Here is the most recent post from July 1, 2022, with this altered HTML:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4075468/posts?page=44#44
Note that the actual HTML in the link says this: https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4075468/yelling
Now, here is the same text from a post from January 5, 2022, with the same link. On that post, the link is preserved:
https://www.yout-ube.com/watch?v=VHLv3ZvBrkQ
Can Free Republic Admins and techs explain how a "yelling" text can be appended to a legitimate YouTube link and be altered months later to divert a real link into a fake one?
I suspect nefarious actions taken by the Duke of Yellington, who is 789th in line to be king of England, right behind the Duke of Earl.
Bttt.

“FIB’s got an active presence here.”
No we don’t. Oh, and your coffee’s ready.

You had to post that or someone on your account.
href="yelling"
Maybe you don't know html as well as you thought or you just happened to screw up on this occasion? FR software prepended freerepublic.com to it which is standard for broken linkie dink things.
all your html belong to us
is the correct link to your FR post based on the number in the link above:
Vanity: Antifa Infiltrated 1/6 Protests
This is interesting. Especially that it appears different in your posting history than on the page.
I deal with domestic intelligence all the time, is beyond the size of the Stasi, and I have seen many Freepers here who appear to be here to help it control the narrative. You raise the surveillance on everyone with them, and it is crickets.
As has the SS.

In the new window, search for the text "bullhorn" to find the summary post. Hover over the link "Video of woman with bullhorn" you will see the following:

Can you tell me where that link came from, since if you click on the "44 of 55" link and open the actual text, the "Video of woman with bullhorn" link in the post points to "https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4075468/yelling"?

When I open this link...
https://freerepublic.com/tag/by:politicaljunkietoo/index?more=124398624
...in another window I get a sparse list with relatively few posts spread over several years. The only one that shows an instance of “bullhorn” is the one you posted today, which is the first one on the list. When I click on it, it just brings me back to this thread. The post in question, your post #44 on TigerClaws’ thread which you posted on July 1, 2022, doesn’t appear on the list.
Nothing you’ve posted so far seems to suggest anything other than that you typo’d a link.
However, I will consider this a closed issue as it appears that only I can see it from my link instead of going through my homepage and clicking all the way through.
Thanks for looking into it, though.

And if you copy html that is a internal link to something on a page, then on FR it will dead-end point to itself, like
The TORAH Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy;
Whereas on the actual page the link points to https://peacebyjesus.net/booksofthebible.html#torah and so forth, versus https://freerepublic.com/perl/post#torah.

Hell I use this and still screw up sometimes by simply hitting the wrong button; FR Posting Enhancer addons for firefox, waterfox and chromium based browsers.
“yelling” is in the post because the poster put it there.
Well if you figure out a way to capture the problem so that it’s visible to others, feel free to let us know. I’m sure the resident techies would be interested in seeing a bug caught red handed like that. FRegards
This one is from my search history page.
The gray box at the lower left shows the link that points to "https://freerepublic.com/tag/by:politicaljunkietoo/yelling"
This one is from the inside the thread itself.

Is there a reason why the links are different between the two screens? I'm guessing that the code is different between the summary screen and the thread screen, and the bad link is being processed differently between the two subroutines?

I think that's just how the forum software works. It seems to do some automatic truncating and appending to links for reasons that I don't really understand but which seems to be pretty par for the course when you've got databasing going on behind a public interface. I would guess that you wind up with multiple instances of data that need to be coordinated and modifying the link text according to certain rules is probably a way of doing that.
Upshot is I think the links being different in different places is probably normal. And I still think the word "yelling" got mixed in due to a typo. So it's two things going on, both pretty pedestrian, but which when taken together could give the feeling that something intentional is afoot and is perhaps being directed at you.
That's my read on it FWIW. Maybe some of the guys who commented earlier and who seem to have some familiarity with how this sort of software works can chime in if they think there's more to the story.
