I noticed whenever one attaches a link, that a bunch of googly gook is attached before the https: etc etc actual link. This may result in errors if one clicks directly on the link. The fix to that is to right click copy the web address, place it manually in the browser's address bar, and then delete out all the stuff before the http... etc . I'm not sure what is going on but I suspect that the link is going through something else first, akin to a VPN and then directing it to the site. This is why my blocker does not like it. It won't hurt my computer (as it does not get the point and click and driveby type malware - only if I deliberately install something knowingly). But it is a pain if we just click on something to have that happen.
Kriss: I may suggest you ask the forum why this happens. If they don't explain why, then from now on it may be better to plain text a link to copy and paste into the address bar because at this point that's what we have to do anyway to get things working right.
