Posted links are bad

Question
-
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.

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.
