Issues with FT -- 2019 DESKTOP Devices BUG REPORTS
For reals... (?!!!)
At least it only lasted for a couple of minutes, but have to retype my post in the forum I was in.
Just for full effect, and punishment, I've attached a full screen shot.

when i posted it was broken with !
i feel like sometimes it happens in my posts when i am editing. but once it happens it doesnt matter if i unbreak the link, it can / will break again, then sometimes goes away at some point later.
note it does not change what displays in the post. but you notice if you hold mouse over link, the ! is there.

ok very very weird
24 hours ago when i posted the link was broken when looking at thread, and was not broken when linking post (not thread), it did not fix itself after clicking and opening viewpost link.
now i just noticed a post (edited about same time 24 hours ago) get fixed, by simply clicking on the viewpost and opening post in new tab/window. when i went back to thread, they were un-broken. this did not happen 24 hours ago when i was posting here about the broken link when viewed one way.
so i have something to try in future. note the post i just noticed get fixed did stay broken for 24 hours.

and i forgot something important, browser caching could be a factor.
