I just reported my own post so a mod could fix it. Thanks! Here’s the link (it sounds very gossipy but it’s actually pretty interesting):

I think that messed up link includes the quote character, which ends up closing the HREF tag. Chrome chokes on the rest of the link. I bet IE and Firefox are replacing the quote character with “&quot” so they load properly.

IE works, but I’m only in IE because my Firefox is showing ads for some reason that is probably my fault.

Thetans?

Think I got the link fixed. It works in Firefox, anyway. Anyone still having trouble with Chrome?

It’s been fixed and is now OK on Chrome.
