Re: Experiment results

Hello again, Bob.

I have gone through the emails you sent.

The links that you showed me as being broken within the FAQ links post, are still broken.

As you said, these are corrupted in a different way than the t5/ being missing.

I notice that the error messaged received when navigating to these links is different from that received when the t5/ is missing from the link.

Would you mind please leaving this links 'as is' until I have fully reported this issue to Lithium?

I actually have a meeting with them today, so I can mention this to them to see if it helps to expidite a solution.

Best regards,

Caroline.

If the Lithium folks mention "swamp gas", extra-terrestrial aliens, or the CIA (or NSA) then we are in trouble.

I'm looking forward to your recap of how the discussion of this particular problem progressed.

I'll update this Topic with some news soon....but in the mean time, I am just adding this post, to test if doing so, randomly fixes the currently broken link in Experiment Post #3.

OK....

After I added my previous post, the link in Experiment Post #3 fixed itself again.

However, I looked at the HTML for the post and that contains lots of "../../.." i.e. relative link information.

This is what is causing the problem.

I am assuming that by adding a new post to the Topic, the relative links make sense as one is 'located' within the correct Topic to start with. However, coming to the post 'from cold' does not put one in the correct location for the relative links to be correctly interpreted.

I've probably not used any of the correct jargon in my sentence above, but I hope you know what I mean! :)

For any of you following this Topic, my last couple of posts may have been a bit confusing.

(To be honest, they were directed at Bob who will have known what I was talking about...I hope!!)

Anyway, the long and the short of this issue is that the strong recommendation when adding URLs to your posts is to use the "Insert/Edit link" icon and fill in all the URL details from there.

This is not so helpful in the situation of cutting and pasting from other docs/posts which already contain URLs.

In that case, rather than removing all those existing links and re-entering them through the "Insert/Edit link" icon, it is probably quicker to take a look at the HTML view of your post and just check that there are no instances of "../../..". If there are, you need to correct the link in this HTML view.

I *believe* this should work, but this has not yet been 100% verified.

I would be very happy to hear from anyone who has either success or failure using this "correcting the HTML" method.

Thanks!
Caroline
