notifyme Posted July 9, 2018 ID:1255662 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The URL sent with the email notifications go to a dead link. I've had 2 sent. Both dead. Tried copying and pasting the text. Dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators celee Posted July 9, 2018 Administrators ID:1255664 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi @notifyme, Sorry to hear you are having issues. Can you post the URL here and I can help troubleshoot with you. Thanks, Cecile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherConcernedCitizen Posted January 12, 2019 ID:1292182 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's an old post, but bad links in notification emails have been bugging me & this offered no resolution. I read mail in plain text, rather than HTML (old school-ish quirk?) & when I use the provided link, I get: Sorry, there is a problem We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2S136/C By comparing the email with the 'copy link location' from the actual post, I see that '&' appears in the former, but not the latter. By stripping it from URL from the page above, the intended post loads. https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/240530-another-windows-7-x64-freeze-after-the-10508-update/?do=findComment&comment=1292174 Short of (ugh!) conformity, is there any recommended resolution for those who eschew HTML email?

David H. Lipman Posted January 12, 2019 ID:1292187 Share Posted January 12, 2019 That may be an artifact by the email client converting Email HTML to Plain Text and not due to how the email is sent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherConcernedCitizen Posted January 12, 2019 ID:1292205 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I suspected that was possible, but these are the only such HTML > text emails I receive that pose an issue so I figured I'd follow the 'contact us' instruction. Guess I'll live with it. Thanks for the response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted January 13, 2019 ID:1292239 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This is likely an issue for IPS, the provider of the forum software that we use here. I'll drop a line to the team about this so that they may report it to IPS. Hopefully they will be able to fix it in a future forum software release.

David H. Lipman Posted January 13, 2019 ID:1292240 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think the way to "fix it" is give the Forum Member the ability to choose Plain Text or HTML emails. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherConcernedCitizen Posted January 13, 2019 ID:1292241 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Either works for me. Thanks, guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherConcernedCitizen Posted January 13, 2019 ID:1292242 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Correction... the offending string is 'amp;' sans '&', but you probably knew that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, that's one way to address it assuming that doing so wouldn't result in the same formatting problem, but either way it would be up to IPS to implement the solution regardless.
