EnderzShadow.2506 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 So let me give an exampleIn the Ranger forums, I am looking at builds that people have posted.Everyone uses http://en.gw2skills.netHere is the link for a build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBlYD7kRFolFsWQwnFgrFsMLYw/zC6D9JA01+WMTq81S7ExRdBA-jpADBAYZAY/BAThat link works. But only if I copy and paste it on my own.Once that links is clicked on, it adds many useless kittens before and after the linkIn which case you will end up on this pagehttps://en-forum.guildwars2.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBlYD7kRFolFsWQwnFgrFsMLYw/zC6D9JA01+WMTq81S7ExRdBA-jpADBAYZAY/BA%22%20rel=%22nofollow%22%3Ehttp://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBlYD7kRFolFsWQwnFgrFsMLYw/zC6D9JA01+WMTq81S7ExRdBA-jpADBAYZAY/BA%3C/a%3EPAGE NOT FOUNDSee the parts that were added?Can you fix it?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanok.3027 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Can confirm. Was trying to grab the easy installer and Intel/AMD package for Linux from the thread and I thought it was due to the default browser that comes with elementary OS, but no. Tried it in Firefox as well and here on my Windows PC on Chrome and it's the same deal. Links are getting the HTML syntax coding added to them, so we get an error. Hope the web dev team can get this fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Let's hope it's not a Vanilla issue, as those take longer to address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 GW2 Skills uses some characters that the forum software is parsing incorrectly. (It's a common issue for parsers that have only been tested on standard URLs.)FYI for @"Stephane Lo Presti.7258": embedding the link doesn't work any better; the problem occurs when the destination URL is formed.In the meantime, you can post the URL as "code" to make it easier for people to copy without accidentally clicking, for example:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBlYD7kRFolFsWQwnFgrFsMLYw/zC6D9JA01+WMTq81S7ExRdBA-jpADBAYZAY/BAYou can use the formatting toolbar (above) or the keyboard shortcuts is: [ctrl o] (select the text, then use the shortcut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderzShadow.2506 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm glad you guys could confirm and can explain technically what's happening. Seems like it's a semi recent issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReActif.9251 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is not the only problem in the code of the site and forum pages.There are code inserts not escaped php in html tags or at least code that is never used in html codes but rather in php.Finding codes to be server-side in the client-side code is a bad sign.I can only assume the origin but I know that the markedown code is not managed as it would be if it respected &00% this format and some markdown code parse may interfere with the php parse.Example found quickly: "\n" "/" with nothing to do where they are.I pity who will have to review all the code, because it can come from a "used instead of a" or vice versa, or a parse like the markedown comes before the cde php or after that anyway... good luck.

Frenzy.8730 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 So as the title suggests, whenever I add a link like the one below, it does not redirect correctly.https://www.google.com/This happens regardless of how I add the link.https://www.google.com/However links that go to the forum are not effected:https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 If it's something Vanilla did, it will take a long time to fix (going by past experience here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearasil.4019 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Currently external links on this website do not work. They have an extra tag in them, so you get an 404 error.For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daccura.4769 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Yes I can confirm this. Today saw some build links to the build editor site on some posts but the links are not working anymore, none of them (external links). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 ANet is aware of the issuehttps://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/976471/#Comment_976471Likely, it's a problem caused by Vanilla (the software company powering the forums) and waiting to be solved by them.Going by past experience, seemingly simple CSS/rendering issues (including those of their creation) take weeks to resolve.(Unclear how many of their sites are affected, as each tends to have different customization.)

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 In the meantime, I'm working around the issue (sometimes) by using "code" formatting to make the URL easier to copy (and paste).e.g. instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug, I usehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug(select text, then use the drop down from the 'paragraph' icon above or press ctrl-o or manually type the accents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Stephane Lo Presti.7258 Posted July 26, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted July 26, 2019 We hope to have an update from the Vanilla team on this problem by next week. Very sorry about the inconvenience to all our forum users! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
