Hosed Links?

by Alan James · in General Discussion · 11/02/2006 (10:24 pm) · 4 replies

I'm curious if I'm the only one getting links to external media/images that are prefixed with, for example in Adam's blog:

http://www.garagegames.com/blogs/34011/www.gamesextract.com/support/FXpack02.avi

instead of:

http://www.gamesextract.com/support/FXpack02.avi

A lot of my old posts are broken (now admittedly I did change host providers, but I mirrored the entire site, and the links are identical) and it's not just mine, it seems random. Some of the posts and blogs are correct, some have prefixed http://www.garagegames.com/www.whatever.com...

I've looked at the blog code for a couple of my .plans, and it's right. If I copy and paste it into the browser window, it goes to the right image or link, but it is prefixed with the www.garagegames.com in the actual post, so they all appear broken.

Just wondering if this is me and I should stop smoking crack or if anyone else has seen/noticed this.

Yep I noticed that. Happened about a week ago. It has the potential to break thousands of threads. I wonder why GG changed this? Probably switched Apache servers or something - but the impack will be huge.

Same here.
I read in another post this morning that to get them to work correctly you have to place the in front of the link - http://www.sitehere.com

Actually I noticed this before when I posted links. It's been like that for awhile. someone needs to update the Markup Lite information.
