Seems to me you are falling for 'click bait'.
"i don't use this site as much meet me over here" is a tactic used by scammers to get your information. I suggest running a virus scan and a spyware scan. Plus, Stop falling for click bait. In most browsers if you hover the cursor over the link and look at the bottom right of the window it shows the address of that link. The more click bait you click, the more spam/scam emails you will get, the more click bait you get. Send it all to the spam folder and delete it. |

I became curious to try any hyperlink, e.g. https://www.python.org/ and see where it links to when clicking on it. http://www.python.org/ you are linking a web address that is not the same as a hyper-lynk. hyper-links hide the web address so i am not sure if that is the same thing or not. Okay, let's see if I can hide the web address: click here |

In BBCode the tags of the BBCode tells the forum software its a link. [] the brackets separate the code url opens the code when enclosed within the brackets the actual url = http whatever is between the opening bracketed code and the closing bracketed code. The closing tag is always /url or /img or /b or /i or /u I can break the code by insterting a space... [u rl]http ://mingle2.com/forum/recent_posts[/ur l] The actual url is https://mingle2.com/forum/recent_posts If I want to hyperlink that address [ur l=htt p://mingle2.com/forum/recent_posts]Recent Forum Posts[/u rl] Recent Forum Posts In firefox and chrome there are extensions which automatically insert bbcode. Its called BBCode WebEX. You still need to remove the 's' from the url to get it to work at M2 most times. On image codes, there is no need to remove the 's'. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msaroff/bbCodeWebEx/master/Screen_Shots/BBCodeXtra/Menu_Example.png [im g]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msaroff/bbCodeWebEx/master/Screen_Shots/BBCodeXtra/Menu_Example.png[/i mg]  you have come the closest to explaining what i a facing. again though i am not trying to create these. i am trying to understand why just a few months ago i did not have this problem. the problem appears mostly on online dating sites. i will get a message from someone that will say: "i don't use this site as much meet me over here" where the word here is the clickable link. and that will take me to the php.net download page. where as when i get a email that will say "get your free report here" again the word here is the clickable link. yet that one will take me to the report as it should. being that this has been going on for a couple months now makes me think it is the way my system is processing the links otherwise the sender would have been informed that their links are not working i am purely guessing that they would have know by now also it is not just one site that this happens on. that eliminates it being a site error. something i had not thought to check is that when you right click the link and select copy link address that it would give you the actual address and not what ever word or phrase they had use to hide it. that still does not solve my problem though there is a web site name https://optimizerbox.com followed by a long series of numbers and letters. which when i left off the numbers and letters and just used the web address it took me to the php.net download page. so i guess the problem is with optimizerbox and not my system. i think? I think I see what's happening.. Let's say you a link to the bbc website like: A link to bbc website (http://www.bbc.co.uk) And when you click the link, the page it goes to is: (https://bbc.co.uk) If that's right, and that is what you mean or is the question you're asking... The reason this is happening is because modern BROWSERS are being designed with security foremost in mind. And when you visit a website, whether via link or via typing the url in the address bar, the 'modern' browser will negotiate possibly unsafe urls in the http protocol into the secure protocol https.... Some browsers have a setting to stop it doing that, and also some anti-viruses too have a setting to turn that feature off. But essentially, I guess that at some point or another in the future, the http protocol will become obsolete and be replaced by https |
