! sCode Broken Links - Pings from Links
Filter
Show Official Posts OnlyReplies
Situation Links with anchors can ping groups, and break. • (example 1) Link containing anchor is broken if forum group has same name. • (example 2) Even if anchor name is not exact. • (example 3) If you're lucky and don't hit a forum group name, the link will be fine. • Posting any of these links will ping the group! I used Avatar in these examples as I'm the only member.
Example 1
This ">link's anchor is a group name, and breaks.
