Clicking on the entries in the forum's Citrus Resources on the Web results in an "Invalid Redirect URL" error message. (e.g. Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/)) The link itself is valid.
All right, I'll be fair. There is a workaround, so it's not urgent. When the error message comes up, it gives the URL of the page that should have opened, so one can copy that into the URL line to get to the page. But it looks bad, and it should have been done with the conversion. So it's not an enhancement request.
There's a faster way. With Firefox, highlight the designated URL in the error message then drag and drop it into the space between the last tab and the New Tab button (+) to create a new tab or into the header of an existing tab to reuse that tab.
I'm not sure that's faster than doing Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V to copy and paste the link into one of my surely at least 8 open tabs, but it's snazzier and I didn't know about it, so thanks for that, Junglekeeper.
In Firefox (recent versions) it is even quicker to highlight the URL, right click, select "Open link" or "Open link in new tab".
Ah, which is the way I usually open links. I was thrown off by these ones not being hyperlinked to begin with, so was surprised that once they're highlighted, they become links and behave like regular links. You'd think that before we figured out all the optimal work-arounds, this thing would get fixed, but maybe not.
It's October 19 now and this links database problem still isn't fixed. Time to mention it again to the people who are supposed to have it on their list?
I was going to ask the same question...... On the surface it would not seem to be a very difficult problem to fix.
I'm bumping this too. It's been three months since the last request, six months since the first one. It makes it look like the targets of the links are the problem, when that's not the case.
I've fixed it, or at least hacked it. Not sure if it means that I've reduced security. Had to do this: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/383790-Issue-Redirect-Domain-Whitelist
