Opening M* Homepage Links

[yogibearbull]

Problem is with opening links on M* Homepage, not from M* Discussions or old M* Charts. It is related to monetization of clicks by both ProBoards and M* and how they choose to direct click-traffic.

Use steps below to open M* Homepage links.

Chrome & Edge: Highlight link-text, right-click, then use Go to www.... or use Copy [text, not link], and then paste URL in a new browser tab  [don't use other options]

Firefox: Similar but no Go to www.... option.

Mobile Browsers: Press & hold on URL for menu to open, then use Copy Text, not Copy Link .

M* Link Issue Fixed

In late-April, I contacted ProBoards about the "Redirect.VigLink...." that caused errors for M* Homepage links and some other random websites. It seems that ProBoards wasn't aware of the issue and it took some explaining to with failed links.

I was informed by ProBoards that VigLink has fixed this issue. Below are test links for M* Homepage and a random article on Homepage today.

Thanks for taking the initiative to report this issue!

It seems that M* link issue has been fixed (again).

[yogibearbull]

Oh well, M* links not working again, reported to PB again. This is like a broken record.

Good news this morning that M* articles are loading properly, but not the M* homepage (who cares about that). There were no issues with M* Discussion links.
