Hyperlink problems/dropbox

[ZedEx48K]

Firefox, I edit the link once hyper'd though hence you seeing it differently in the code (I do this as HTTP:// is forced onto us in the add link box)this has always been fine until using dropbox.

And there's no malware here!

Nothing there, plus that is for IE not Firefox, as said PC is Malware free and a tight ship overall, same links posted on say twitter/facebook/skype etc don't appear with homeimprovements either, I raised it here as it only happens here and only with dropbox links!

I'm pretty sure this is related to the malformed http/https entries in your modified URLs if it's not a direct malware infection.

See the discussion a few posts in to the FF report - it seems to match what's going on very closely.

Let's try this...

http://www.dropbox.com/sh/z6hp9z4b6x6r4r7/IgzupYdrkL/20131022_112604.jpg

Now I added this by just putting www.dropbox.etc no http(s)://

Then clicked preview (to get the ok button) got no preview page though, so now it should be unedited.

It WORKS! So by just editing the link afterwards causes some weird homeimprovements bug OF THE WHOLE INTERWEB!!!

For just you and a few people suffering from this link redirection nightmare, which is nothing whatsoever to do with the forum.
