Recently I've been having trouble following links on AW, usually ones posted in the body of users' posts. In one case, someone linked to a blog post. Trying to open it in a new tab sent me to www.absolutewrite.com/undefined . I had to actually copy the link URL and paste it to my browser to get it working.

Today I had the same issue when trying to check out a link to a book trailer posted here: http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213822 Strangely enough, I went right back to that link and it's now working.

What's going on? I'm using the same browser I always have, nothing's changed between then and now. Is this a bug with AW?

It sounds to me like a local problem, in your browser.

What browser and OS are you using?

Mac OSX 10.6.7, Safari. It very well may be. I've been trying to puzzle out what I'm doing that may be causing this. I think I may have tried 'copy link location' and pasted it in a new tab, ended up getting the weird AW page. When I went back to the post, the hyperlink url was the AW link. Refreshed the page, suddenly it was a working link again.

Weird, weird, weird.
