Hey all... this is my first post, so please be gentle...

I've had a site up for a while, and it had been fine... I haven't touched it, but now all out bound links are no longer working:

http://www.hypeworthy.net/content/clients

Here's the code for the first entry:

<h2>Michael Urie</h2>
<img src="/sites/default/files/Urie_001(2).jpg" alt="michael urie picture"</img>

Michael Urie (ABC’s Ugly Betty) became a client of Hypeworthy in January of 2009. Michael was nominated for an Emmy as part of best comedy cast in 2007, and was nominated for a Golden Globe in the same category that same year. In 2009, Michael received two Teen Choice Award nominations. The most important thing for to solidify with Michael, was a solid place for fan interaction. Hypeworthy has given Michael a platform online and solidified his brand. One important aspect of what Hypeworthy does is helping to find the right sort of content for each client. Michael wanted to learn and to focus on Twitter, and he now has over 30,000 Twitter followers. You can find him on his <a href="
http://www.twitter.com/michaelurie/">official twitter page.</a>

The code is right, as far as I can tell... what's the deal? How can I fix this? Any ideas?

For some reason your links are being printed out like this:

<a href="<br />
http://www.twitter.com/michaelurie/">official twitter page.</a>

Your line breaks are converted into the <br /> tag and screwing up the links where you have a line break in the link.

You could go through all the links and remove the line breaks.
Or you could go to http://www.yoursite.com/admin/settings/filters and turn off the "Line break converter" for the input format that you are using.
Hopefully this does not screw up any other formatting that you have going. If this is the case, you might need to play around with the order of the filters for your input format.

I did what you said, then I started looking at the rest of them... the first segment was the only one showing up with the
thing... the rest are like this:

http://www.hypeworthy.net/content/"http://www.dallasobserver.com/bestof/2009/award/best-radio-station-1529771/

Here's an example of my code from further down the page... again, I don't see anything wrong with it.


<h2>The Temperamentals</h2>
<img src="/sites/default/files/tempermentals_0.jpg" alt="the temperamentals off broadway show and play"</img>

One of the most successful Off-Broadway productons of 2009/2010, <a href=”http://www.thetemperamentals.com/>The Temperamentals</a> is play about two men - the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich - as they fall in love while building the first gay rights organization in the pre-Stonewall United States. It is produced by Man Underdog Productions in conjunction with Daryl Roth. Hypeworthy designed <a href=”http://www.thetemperamentals.com/>The Temperamentals website</a> and facilitated their social media campaigns. Focusing on gay websites, Hypeworthy helped The Temperamentals receive blog posts on the following influential blogs: Perezhilton, The Huffington Post, Playbill.com, NY Times, DC Theatre Scene, Artsbeat, Gay Socialites, Culture Vulture, Broadway World, After Ellen, After Elton, Just Jared, Culture Mob, and many more. “The Temperamentals” is the recipient of a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performances and the Lortel Award for  <a href= “http://www.lortel.org/LLF_awards/> Outstanding Lead Actor </a>.  The acclaimed play has received nominations for a Drama League Award for <a href=”http://dramaleague.org/?page_id=1735/>Distinguished Performance Award</a>; Outer Critics Circle Awards for <a href=”http://www.outercritics.org/AwardArchives.aspx?_y=2009-2010/>Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play </a>and Jon Marans for the<a href=”http://www.outercritics.org/AwardArchives.aspx?_y=2009-2010/>John Gassner Award</a>; as well as Lortel Award Nominations for<a href= “http://www.lortel.org/LLF_awards/> Outstanding Play </a> and GLAAD Award Nomination for<a href=”http://www.glaad.org/mediaawards/21/ny/> Outstanding New York Theater: Broadway & Off-Broadway</a>.

I think this is much bigger issue than line breaks... what do you think? I've never seen this before...

Your code of hyperlink tags looks like this:

<a href=”http://dramaleague.org/?page_id=1735/>Distinguished Performance Award</a>

Your inverted commas are not closed, the code of hyperlink should be like following:

<a href="http://dramaleague.org/?page_id=1735/">Distinguished Performance Award</a>

For that one it did... but I went ahead and made everything identical...

Now if you look at the ONLY link on the page that's working... and compare it to the next link that's not... I see no difference... any idea what the problem can be?

This link works:

You can find him on his <a href="http://www.twitter.com/michaelurie/">official twitter page.</a>

This link:

Founded in 2008, <a href=”http://www.indie-verse.com/">Indieverse</a> is CBS Radio’s only profit turning online streaming radio station.

Looks like this:

http://www.hypeworthy.net/content/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.indie-verse.com/%22

Any ideas?

I just looked at the code. the quote marks in the anchor tags are wrong.

The anchor tag has a mixture of quote marks, reverse quotes and normal quotes.

from the post above look at:

Founded in 2008, <a href=”http://www.indie-verse.com/">Indieverse</a> is CBS Radio’s only profit turning online streaming radio station.

note that the quotes right after the href=” these are different than the trailing quotes " . The first quotes are the culprit.
