External Links Not working lately

Members posting links offsite to places like Amazon are trying to be helpful.

But lately, these links do not work... error code "Invalid hit looping" Is this an MBWorld problem that the admin people can fix, please?.

I'm not aware of this issue and we would need to investigate. It will help to look at exactly what you're looking at.

Thanks!

The link in Post #7 of this thread... https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post8690460

In short, any link off-site in any post returns the error, or redirects back to the post that contains it.

I'm not making this stuff up.
