Hi - anyone else have this and is there a cure?
The link not working indicator shows, I check and it's a video capsule.
The link works fine bu the hub says it's not working. Tried deleteing link and reentering it same thing.
A tiny point but I have a few of these and it's driving me NUTS!
Hi Julie-Ann,
Thanks for reporting this.
Our video checking is not 100%. If a video link is good and you are getting a false warning, just click the "ignore" link. That's the best way to handle it.

It happened to me once but as soon as I realize the video was fine I just deleted that Broken Link warning.
When I get a broken link warning that's giving a false positive, I email the Hub team so that they know there's something up with the link checker and whichever site the link is coming from and then I click "ignore" next to that warning on the broken link list.
I don't know if this is what you are referring to, but I found out that my "YouTube" videos for instance, do not work when using Firefox.I can see them in IE6.

Ok, this keeps happening to me. Well, two things with broken links. Both are annoying.1) There is a broken link warning; I go to edit the hub and fix or delete said link, and the broken link warning does not go away. I then re-check the entire hub, to make sure there was not more...

Have you had this happen to you? I searched for the highlighted broken link but I could not find one. So how do you clear the notice?

My Hub all of the sudden has broken link warning. I have three links and they all work fine and go to the correct pages (license, information,wikicommons appropriately). What is the warning referring to?https://hubpages.com/health/Epilepsy-Sy … -Unnoticed

I have a YouTube video at the bottom of a hub which used to be viewable, but now is not. However, the introductory still picture still shows up and it is very pertinent to the subject. It is of a piece of art that was auctioned at a record breaking price. The question is: is it all right to leave...
