Okay, so the above link, butchered by spaces just to get it to display (seriously- FIX THIS!) is what should a) be going up in my posts and b) where the link should be pointing people.
No idea if Admin or Mods can view my posts in edit form, but the correct URLs are being used in the links above - and for some reason they don't function, they are translated into a link that refers straight back to this thread. Or whatever thread I post them in.
I notice the old MagicCards.info links in the Best Cards by Set thread still function fine.
SO COULD I HAVE AN ANSWER PLEASE ON WHY THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR ME AND WHY I CANNOT POST EXTERNAL LINKS WITHOUT HAVING THEM REFER STRAIGHT BACK TO THE THREAD I POST THEM IN
(for my purposes the site's card filter does not replace magiccards.info as the output is comparatively poor, looking at Hoover's there are cards up there multiple time, lot's of scrolling required due to wasted space, card images aren't especially big, and cards by other artists are displayed where the artist has drawn a basic land from a particular set). But that's a discussion for another time.
I run the 'favourite art by artist thread', and checking the thread today I have noticed a big problem.
The link which should direct people to a MagicCards info page of an artist's cards instead redirects back the thread. Entirely useless.
I have tried deleting the link and replacing it, but the same thing is happening.
Here's the post in question:
http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-general/opinions-polls/334851-favorite-card-art-by-artist-hideaki-takamura?comment=1143
This is the link as it should be: http://magiccards.info/query?q=a:"hideaki takamura"&v=scan&s=edition
but it is redirecting users back to the thread. Are external links now banned or something?
I'll try again. What a mess!

Okay it's not here as both a 37KB .png shot and a 88KB .jpg generated this message:
An error has occurred while trying to save the file you uploaded: This file is too large, and will put you over your attachment limit for this site.
Nice.
<a href="" rel="nofollow">MagicCards.info link</a>
So, why are my links being auto-tagged as no follow? As I've stated there are function magiccards.info links currently active on other threads.
