Lately every time I post a link I have trouble if I try edit the post (if i've made a spelling error etc) where I get an error telling me the link is getting a 404 error, but the link is valid and works in the original post pre editing. I'm no touching the link when I edit, and the only way around this seems to be delete the link, then edit the post again and post the same link back in... then it works

It's always been like that since the forum was updated.

Seems to be a common bug, but there's no section of the bulletin board for bugs to be reported ..

In reply to balmybaldwin:

Yes, I get a message saying something about a broken link !??

In reply to balmybaldwin:
Yes, it's really annoying.

In reply to balmybaldwin:

Its been like that ever since I have been a member.
It seems the only way around it is to delete the post and start again!

In reply to balmybaldwin:

It seems when you put a link it automatically gets bold(ened) with some invisible tags. When you edit the post they 'crumble' and only a "/b>" remains at the end which fecks up the url.

You need to delete the URL in the edited post and re-paste the original one for it to work.

Damn annoying.

In reply to balmybaldwin:

Put a single blank space after the link.

In reply to wintertree:
It doesn't work?

Copying and pasting the whole post once it's edited and posting it as a new post seems to work, which defeats the object a little bit.

In reply to Timmd:

No, doesn't work for me unless I remove link, submit edited post, re edit and then paste in the original link and resubmit
