Default Link redirect issues

The two users I called in here, are you using the mobile version of the site?

That would help a lot, if you would.

Okay. I can't test mobile from here, but it works fine from the desktop on a known healthy computer and network. Have you tried one of the apps or another phone / computer? Trying to see where the problem actually lies.

No! I'm always using my iPad viewing/posting through Safari on this site. Most likely I used Chrome to search for the Walmart site to find the coolers and copied and pasted the link to my post. But it kept getting posted with the HD site where the same coolers costed more money..

What happens when you run the site through a different browser on your iPad? As in if you post the link using Chrome instead of Safari.

The other example I noticed:
https://www.f150forum.com/f118/facto...48088/index12/

Post # 118 has a link to Crutchfield. Reply post #123 then shows the link as Newegg and I am almost positive the original message was linking to Amazon (although maybe the op changed it). Nonetheless something is still off. I just checked from my work laptop and confirmed that I'm seeing the same issue as the mobile version.

Edit: I just looked at my post #1808 on the Forscan thread from my work laptop and confitmed it is showing the eBay link, even though when I go to edit the link it has the Amazon link. So, it doesn't seem like it's device specific from what I'm seeing.

Do you have an actual desktop computer nearby? I'm running a desktop and I see...
