Following The Link...

Ok, this is a little vent…it’s not meant to pick on anyone in particular or to criticize. I just want ppl to be aware of this. Some of the discussions on here are follow-ups to news stories…and the news stories are often very good, add extra information to the discussion and sometimes have photos and videos that help ppl to better understand the situation. However, some ppl post links that don’t go to the news story…but rather to the news site. Here’s the difference…the link to the article will take the person that clicks on it to that article. The link to the site will take you to the front page of their site where you may or may not find the article. I know not everyone knows how to post a link so here’s a tip…copy the link then re-paste it right back in the address bar and hit enter…it should stay on that article page. If it goes anywhere else, then it’s not the right link. Don’t try to shorten it unless you’re sure what you’re doing. If nothing else, include enough information in the discussion so that if the person can’t find the article they can still understand the discussion. Have you ever clicked on a link to find it takes you somewhere other than where it’s supposed to take you? Do you check your links before you post them? Have you run into this problem?
