Something broken, no change on my end, putting links in many other forums? Here's a start. When I go to edit/advanced I see the links are there as normal, but I save off and nada in the post.

Please have a tech puzzle this out. Thanks.



Here trying to post link:


I get about:blank when I click on it. Me thinks something mucked up in forum software.

Appears just fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE for myself as screen capture shows.

Me thinks something may be wrong with your environment. So start by disabling your extensions and also trying another browser. Also, stating what your environment is (O/S and version, browser and version, extensions used, etc.,) helps a little.




Also, no changes on your end? If you're using Windows, your O/S is updating in the background (and regularly) as well as your A/V software. If not, you've got a different issue involving security.

I don't think the aforementioned is the cause. I suspect it may be 3rd party software that is altering the appearance and/or functionality of the site. Especially given your about:blank note. But since you've not provided nformation and other testing, there is some room for error.

Thanks JT

It was adblock, I thought I had installed it for just one email account, but apparently it "ON" for everything unless/until I turn it off for each forum etc.

You are doing a great job, thanks!
