The links are getting broken. The current work around is listed below.

 

One of the links in problem: extremeOCing Water Cooling Buyers link

 

It looks like you will need to put the links in this format:

[url=<url here>]<text here; you MUST have some text here else it won't work>[/url]


Just omit the <> things.

 

Here is how the link to the buyer's guide looks like:

[url=http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=282232]extremeOCing Water Cooling Buyers link[/url]

 

Half the links on the Water Cooling guide are broke due to this.

 

I do hope this is just a mistake and not a try at censorship. (See my post here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ease-broke )

 

Btw, this problem was not there 2-3 days ago. All the links in this guide worked fine.

Hello,

I have reported this bug. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Hey,

It turns out this isn't a bug. What happened is that you tried to copy and paste a thread that included links from one forum (maybe ours) to the post in question. You cannot do that, as the original was truncated for readability. If you want to copy text from our forum to another post, including the proper links, you need to look at the bbcode and copy that. Other forums, I don't know.

Thanks,
Justin

Thank you. It is fixed now. But even when I actually went to the forum (ocn,ocf, and even on some toms pages) the links got cut off at the *.com. So basically nothing after .com part. The issue seems to be fixed now.

Hi,

There was a system upgrade last week. Maybe that fixed the problem.
