I see today that the link in the original post on the "3,430 Photos of Queen Mary 2" sticky has now been converted from the raw "URL" code to an actual link. Unfortunately that link has been converted incorrectly. At face value, the link looks to be correct, since it says the link is to the following page.

http://www.cruisecritic.com/photos/ships/queen-mary-2-qm2-294/

But the link actually goes here, which is a just a circular link back to the thread itself.

Likewise, all the links by the OP in post #14 of that sticky actually point back to the thread itself rather than to all of the intended other individual "photo" pages on the site.

Host Hattie, do you think you could edit the "3,430 Photos of Queen Mary 2" sticky to correct the links to work as they should?  At least getting the original link to the QM2 photos in post #1 to work correctly would be helpful. Here's a link for post #1 that works as it should. That is, the link actually goes where it claims to go.

Hopefully there is a working link in the first post - I've hidden the other post for the moment, above my pay grade to fix that lot.:classic_dry:

 

Thanks. Yes, the link in the first post is working for me now.

It does make me wonder if those links were auto-converted by a script being run to fix all the links in old posts and that script is misbehaving. If so, we might see more of this issue as more old posts get converted. I've noticed a few old posts are now showing their embedded images, so some progress is being made in that regard.
