I have a hub showing up as having a link that's broken and in need of fixing. Which is fine, except it isn't - I've checked. Maybe the site was down when an administrator looked at it? But considering it's still showing up as broken, what do I do? It's annoying.
I would try to edit the hub, remove the link, then reinsert it. If there is still a problem, I would try to unpublish, then republish the hub. If that doesn't do the job, you can contact HubPages directly.

Hi Oona Seckar,
If the link is good, I would recommend going to MyAccount/Broken Links & Videos and then hit "IGNORE" in the report.
That will remove the issue.

Thanks guys. I wish there was a 'thanks' button for helpful posts on here.
Just wanted to mention that this once happened to me as well. I contacted HP, and as it turned out there was a space in the link that I couldn't see. They fixed it for me but it was something I coulda fixed myself by retying the link (not copy and paste, which I'd tried and kept getting the invisible space).
Thanks Lynda. My link actually works, though, which leaves me a bit flummoxed.
It is now happening to me. Very strange. I tried the link on a Word doc and on a blog of mine, and it worked. I asked at the "Need help" forum and Mark Knowles said that my link worked for him.

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?

Two of my articles on PetHelpful are showing as having broken links. In the first instance, when I look at the article, the link is a picture. This link http://www.sxc.hu/photo/679862 is showing as broken but is in fact clearly showing as a black cat drinking so I think this may be a 'glitch'? In...

It says the hub has a broken link and there isn't one highlighted. After I tried all the links, I couldn't find one that didn't work. This is the hub barbara-kay.hubpages.com/hub/Free-Filet-Crochet-Patterns

So, I just fixed a broken link in one of my hubs. Upon saving the change, and exiting edit mode, when I scrolled back to that part of the article, the new link is showing, but the old link title is also still showing, in strike-through typeface.What's up with that? I have never seen...

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?
