Links in posts don't work?

Clicking on links in posts either reloads the current page, or if you select to open the link in a new tab, opens up a new tab titled "about:Blank". This happens with the majority of links that go to a site other than BE forums, while most links that point to a location within BE forums work fine.

Am I the only one with this problem?

I'm having a similar issue.  Trying to look at the springs frequently asked questions and every time I click on the subject/sticky it just opens up another page/tab to the general forums.  The stickies/links below the thread title don't post with the link to the page so I went back and copied the line to the question/answers about shortening springs and it's that big long ugly thing below.  And it still doesn't work.

This is because the link was created on the old forum, the link still references brianenos.com/forum.  The only way to fix that would be to scan all the forum entries and replace the old links with new ones that reference the new forum name. 

Alternatively it may be possible to update htaccess to pull in the old link and convert it dynamically to the new one.

There is an htaccess file in place on brianenos.com that should redirect any  old forum links to the new forum.

Every link in the Gun springs FAQs loads correctly in the new forums for me. Weird. 

I'm in an old Chrome browser. But it wouldn't makes sense that it would be browser-specific.
