Investigating Link Check Please

[casportpony]

For those devices that don't work, try adding an 's' to the end of 'http' (https). That's the Hypertext Secure Sockets Protocol. 'http' is just unsecure http. When I click on the http link, it converts automatically to https. I'm using Mozilla on laptop.

Good suggestion, but it didn't work for me.

Worked for me. Both took me to post 1

I'm on a Kindle Fire by the way.

So Kindle behaves like my ipad.

You links went straight to a post for me.
Did my links not go straight to a post for you?

Yes, they did.

Looks like they work for the majority....so not changing them
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
It was @Meg-in-MT saying links didn't work that prompted me to start this thread.

Thanks for starting it.

I think it might be a real bug, so I'm glad you started this thread.

the broken link #1 appears in 41 posts not including the posts in this thread. I think the last time this happened Nifty waived a magic wand and the problem went away.

the broken link

Is it really 'broken' if it only fails in a few scenarios(certain devices/OS's/browsers)?

A bug in those systems I would think?

I still don't see the harm in changing the link and seeing if it then works in those browsers or whatnot.

Both links work for me. If you're getting that "404 page not found" error, try leaving BYC, clearing your cache, and coming back and trying those pages / links.

Thank you @casportpony , that did work. Is it a browser issue? I will read through these as soon as I can. Thanks again!
