The name of thread is “Geoguessr”
Someone posted to this page earlier today but everytime I click the hyperlink, it flashes for a split second and then goes to an error page.
Is the problem my computer or something corrupt in the thread?

The thread looks ok for me (using firefox on a linux machine).
What browser and OS are you using? What error are you getting?

Using Google Chrome and I got the Blue Screen with "Oh Snap, something went wrong when opening this:
I tried in Firefox and it did open. But I did not log in because I was log in on chrome because I am responding to you.

Page 2 gives me the error in Chrome. This happened recently on another thread, and the problem was a poorly formatted hyperlink on one of the posts. It worked in IE and FF but crashed in Chrome.

ECG, my guess would be post #69. That URL ain’t right.

Agree, the link in post 69 looks corrupt to me. (when I opened in Firefox)

Tell me if it works now. I took my best guess at fixing the URL in post #69.

That would be me. Sorry 'bout breaking the board (though I guess it wasn’t actually me.)
Should I repost as a new topic? Others may have had the same error, and that thread’s nearly two years old anyway.

This needs to be reported as a bug in Chrome. Bad HTML should not completely break the renderer.
