Cache page Links


JABs

Recommended Posts

The links on cache pages seem to of stopped working.

 

A couple of my caches had links to other caches and a couple had links to web sites, now all seem to have dropped the (visit link) with this -("http://www.ozsite.com.au/oberonrailway/default.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">visit link) thus not allowing you any way to click on link except to cut and paste the url.

 

The link on the cache page listed is not working for me either. Also, all the links on profile pages are not working. They are showing the HTML code for the link, but the links aren't there anymore. Check out my profile page for an example...

I just checked your profile & all the links seem to be fixed.

 

I decided to investiate further just in case. I see that my links are not showing correctly now. I also see that the 'Friends' tab is missing from my profile page.

 

Not sure what's up unless it's hidden server upgrades, updates, etc.

I've pushed an update from GSAK, Stats Generator, (Stats generated by FindStatGen3 V3.3.20 by rutson and lignumaqua, running on 'http://gsak.net'>GSAK v7.2.3.35) and the links are all broken. Tried it 3 different times and it is my standard way of updating my profile. Worked flawlessly before.

 

Html looks fine when StatsGen opens up new webpage running as a GSAK macro. Here is my profile as an example (6pm Pacific Turkey Day) http://www.geocaching.com/profile/

 

I saw this too today, on one of my bookmark lists where the links didn't work. An edit of one of the bookmarks and a refresh, and voila -- all was well again.

 

This is a recurring and elusive problem with rendering links properly. I blame an unruly hamster.

I'm also seeing the same thing as you. I've tried updating my profile with freshly run stats at least 5 times, but each and every time it strips the HTML code that creates the link. Take a look at my profile to see what it looks like.

 

Basically this:

<a href='http://coord.info/GC1H34W'>GC1H34W</a>

Becomes this:

'http://coord.info/GC1H34W'>GC1H34W

Broken for me too - I went to edit one of my caches (GC1HG9E to make something more obvious that was being missed. When I viewed the resulting page, all the links on it went awry. The <A HREF= tag was stripped, leaving "website"> and the </A> tag was stripped.

 

I assumed that a decision had been made by TPTB to disallow external links except for the 'link to user's website' bit.

 

Just checked my other caches, and it would appear to be something in the page editing engine that's stripped the code, because in-line links in the other caches have remained intact.

I noticed this last night. It seemed to be working again first thing this morning. Now it's back to some broken links.

 

Same here. I like to post a link to our external blog for each of our finds, and I'm getting my URL links exploded to this in my log entries -

Our blog entry for this find: ("http://www.teamwolfie.com/2008/11/grass-tree-rock/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">visit link)
