Andreas Dunstheimer Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I noticed several times, that links within posts of this forum don't really link to the mentioned destination. Example: This is a link to googleBut if you click on this link, you are not redirected to google, but to this page here itself (meaning this thread of the forum) Is this a bug, or a (security-) feature? ;-) ok, the google-link above works, but links within these threads do not: Edited September 7, 2015 by Andreas Dunstheimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revive Adserver Forum Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 We noticed that there are issues with links, a situation that started when we upgraded the forum's software recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewatfornax Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 This might be resolved with an upgrade to the forum software - we'll see if we can get that sorted out soon.If that doesn't work, we'll have to raise a support ticket with them.

andrewatfornax Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 It turns out we've already got the latest version running, so I've raised a support ticket regarding this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Foley Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 just FYI, this is still (at the time of writing) an issue. The link Erik posted (below) just points back to itself. Perhaps it's possible to update the post with a manual link entry, so we can at least follow the "link"...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewatfornax Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Richard,I'm still actively chasing Invision for a solution. Apologies for the delay - but they are not being especially helpful, which is disappointing for something we pay to have...Cheers,Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewatfornax Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Update, with a partially happy outcome.Invision basically brushed us off, and said, well, you should have noticed the problem right away, and used a backup to restore. Unfortunately, we didn't notice, and the backups had already been rotated by the time we did, so that's not an option.However, @Matteo Beccati very kindly figured out how to fix all the posts where the links were full URLs, and this has been done - which is the happy part.The unhappy part is that for any post with a link that isn't a full URL, we can't fix it, and it will stay broken unless anyone can figure out where it should have linked to, and then update the post.
