[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10302977, member: 79705"]From the link above: The link is getting wrapped in tracker codes. You have to edit the url out of them, and if it's relinked they get added back on. :rolleyes: Copy paste the text is best I've got. ebay.com/itm/335826785761 You have to omit the https and www when posting a url otherwise the forum automatically creates the link which adds in the extra bits in the address when clicked and breaks it. IF you click the link and get the broken bit, know that the clean link is in there but sometimes the extra junk is on the front AND end of the url, or just one side. Click on the url in your browser to edit it and delete the extra bits. Clean links should look like above OR if it's a general search it'll be "keyword=blue+depression+glass" as an example of what you look for. This way you can still fix links for yourself on old posts. Also if the clean link is visible in the post, you can right-click (or hold-clock on mobile) to highlight it and choose "copy link text" to paste into your browser. NOT "copy link address". I hope this gets fixed soon. :grumpy:[/QUOTE]
