The new broken link warning.

Broken Link Changes

Broken Links Look a Little Different

As of about two weeks ago, broken links look a little different on Hubs. If any of your Hubs have broken links, you may notice that those links now appear with a line through them. When clicked on, the new broken link warns the reader that she has clicked on a link which is no longer active. We've made these changes as part of an effort to be more transparent to readers in accordance with Google's Webmaster Guidelines. We want to provide the best experience possible, and setting reader expectations correctly is a big part of that. Please continue to fix your broken links as quickly as possible to make your Hub the best resource it can be. If you're interested, you can read more about the new broken link changes in the HubPages Blog. :)
