    I've seen this in several posts now, here's another example .  The hyperlink editor inserts relative links if the link has the same root.  But these links can only work if the post is retrieved from the thread view.  They do *not* work if the post is browsed through My Forums Threads.

    Of course, the same thing would happen when a moderator moves the post.  But then the link will be broken forever.

    This is a serious problem, please prioritize.

    This will be fixed in this weeks update. With TinyMCE the default Link behavior on certain browsers tries to convert to a relative path in some cases. There's a config setting to just use the entered Url as is.

    Yes, I had noticed a whole bunch of broken links in V4 posts, but I hadn't realized the cause.

    Links should use absolute paths, and MS should stop changing the URL's (preferably after getting rid of the "social"...).

    I too had noticed some broken links.

    And, yes, when they happened they were old v3 Links I had that I had earlier set up so that I could monitor known spammers and the like  (Urgent!!!! in every post writers) via a direct link.

    Don't tell me none of those now work. That would be a real <expletive removed>


    Some of the other broken links worked the second time I tried them, but not these.
