Phlier Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) 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?

alan1985 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I just noticed it on a Classified ad. I went to click on the link to take me to another website and it just reloaded the listing. I'm on Chrome on a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Can you post a link to the post that a link doesn't work in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) 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. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_147277304041511&key=79bd9386a12d9ac58a81d42672c87dc4&libId=iskyyknr0101ax4w000DA2zyqkw31&subId=3532157973&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.brianenos.com%2Findex.php%3F%2Ftopic%2F5006-frequently-asked-questions%2F&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brianenos.com%2Fforums%2Findex.php%3Fact%3DST%26f%3D28%26t%3D3924%26s%3D&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.brianenos.com%2Findex.php%3F%2Fforum%2F28-gun-springs%2F&title=Frequently Asked Questions - Gun Springs - Brian Enos's Forums...

BritinUSA Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 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.
