Comment, not question: links to answers are usually wrong...

[Bohne]

When I get an email saying I have an answer to a question, the link contained therein is usually wrong.
I have the feeling, it's just the category that is missing. The question number seems to be correct.

Somebody else seems to have had a problem like that a year ago, not sure if it was something different, has just never been fixed, or it's just me.

Hi

Our technical department has shortened the links - so they are no longer cut off at the end. Instead of the entire category being shown, just the Question ID is. When you click on it or cut and paste it into a new browser window, it will still take you to the right Question, regardless of the "missing" category information. We have accomodated for that.

Please note, that some email providers will still not highlight the entire link, unfortunately we can no longer amend the links further on our end to suit all email providers.

Before clicking on the link, ensure that the entire link is highlighted - ending in .html. Usually it is the ending 'l' that poses the problem.

Also, if you know the question ID, click on any question in the AB and substitute it with the one in your email. Regardless of it being in the same category or not, you will get to the right Question.

Or, you can always go to your questions through the sorting tabs in your profile.

Hope this helps!

OK, I looked at it again, and it is not that there is not all of the link highlighted, there is too much...

The last > is part of the link, too.
