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.

The system does not allow the editing of posted posts. A post can be removed only. Your post contained:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4075468/yelling

You had to post that or someone on your account.

This is the html of the post 44 text with bad link

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.

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.

Instead of clicking on the link, copy the text of this link and then pasted it into a new browser window.

https://freerepublic.com/tag/by:politicaljunkietoo/index?more=124398624

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:

https://freerepublic.com/tag/by:politicaljunkietoo/yelling

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.

I noticed it behaves differently when it is clicked on versus when it is pasted into a fresh browser tab.

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.

“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

Here are two screenshots.

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.

The gray box at the lower left shows the link that points to "https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4075468/yelling"

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?

Okay, I see what you mean now about the links being different in your "my posts" versus in a normal thread.

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.
