I created a hub today. All of the links are reporting as bad links. The link is shown as the URL and goes outside of the link box. There is no hyperlink text or description for the link.
This is the hub was created today and has issue
http://bedbugabscond.hubpages.com/hub/C … eous-Earth
Link to preexisting hub with old links that are today but link added today is not fine
http://bedbugabscond.hubpages.com/hub/O … e-Pictures
I tried interlinking this new hub to a preexisting hub. Links that were originally in the preexisting hub are correct but the new link is not (screen shots below).
I am using a 3 month old Acer with Windows 7
Tried fixing links in
Ie latest version - did not work
Fire Fox - Hubpages wont let me log in on firefox
Chrome latest version - did not work
Cleared cache browsers and cookies - no change
The only task I was doing was creating a new hub

@Bedbugabscond
Sorry to hear about the problems with your links.
I checked your account here:
http://hubpages.com/my/hubs/broken-links
And I do not see any broken links.
Are you referring to something else?
What links are you seeing as broken?
They aren't broken, they say bad link. They do not look nice and neat. Instead of seeing the title of the hub and a description, which looks nice, you see the url, which doesnt even fit in the box.
I looked at your Hub and had no problem changing the Link title and Link Description fields.
Here is how you do it
1. Edit you Hub.
2. Click "edit" in the link capsule.
3. Click "edit link" under "Drag Links to Reorder"
I added "Title Goes here" and "Link description goes here" to the the corresponding fields in your first link capsule in the Hub you mentioned so you can see where the values should go.
Here is a Learning Center Hub about how to use the link capsule.

There are also many other useful Hubs in the Learning Center.

I have seen this while updating and revising my existing hubs today as well. It must be a site wide issue. I am sure the tech team will get it figured out. But, I get that it is frustrating!
Yeah, I made a comment in another hub and someone else said they had it, too. A staff member asked me to make my own hub. The hardest part was following all of the rules in the faq! I am not too worried about it.
My hub looks odd right now, but I can go back and fix that once they fix this issue. In the mean time I have been hopping hubs.
My screen shots look to small though. No idea how to make them bigger!
er, not make my own hub, but own post, lol

I had six hubs showing broken links yesterday. I corrected all of them, but two are still showing the broken link icon. And, the edit date hasn't updated. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a hard time reaching above 75 points on my QAP assessment. I have no idea what else to do. I made sure my text is correct, stylized and broken into digestible chunks, bold only on important phrases, headings, sub-headings and other formatting techniques used. Since I had a lot of images, I...

Is there a way to get rid of unwanted traffic sites that attach a link to our hubs without our knowledge? I try to individually monitor my hubs for suspicious traffic and have written two letters to the offender who has sent me 8 visits on one hub this week. Now HubPages has marked my hub with a...

I am not looking to name names here as this happens quite a lot on Hubpages, but can someone please clarify whether or not it is against the rules for a Hubber to come to your hub, leave a comment and then include a link to one of their own hubs as a part of that comment. I know it says under each...

I find it hilarious that Hubpages pushes the concept of helping new Hubbers yet my Hub which has had very good reception by the community has been flagged for being both overly promotional and substandard.I had 5 social bookmarking links,and 2 other links to free tools absolutely related to the...
