I have a hub that keeps getting flagged as having broken links but when I click on the links, they are indeed still good links. How can I get rid of the broken links symbol? I just find it distracting.
Thanks.
It is possible that there is a bug in the system, but I haven't had a warning when there wasn't a broken link. I recommend you go to this page:
http://hubpages.com/my/hubs/broken-links
This page will identify the specific link in question. (The hub will also tell you that, but it is easier to see here. You can have the link be checked again on this page.
Thank you for that link! I tested it. It said it was a bad link but clicked on it from there and it still worked so I hit ignore. Simple solution. Thank you!
You're quite welcome. You can get to this page from the My Account page.

The broken links report showing a broken link in one of my Hubs but when I go to the Hub in edit mode I cannot find any such link. This has happened a few times now. I would post a link to the affected Hubs but don't want to infringe TOS!

I just found a (!) warning on one of my Hubs, due to two broken links to my own Hubs. Clicking on the links led to 404 error pages. But the pages the links were supposed to go to still exist, and are still published and featured. It seems the links should have been good.I went into the Hub and...
