I am getting broken link messages and several of them are trackers. Now that we have sub-domains, do we need to go back and reset each of these or will it be remedied by HubPages engineers?
I noticed that as well. Just re-saving them seemed to do the trick for me. Your results may vary.
Hi Peggy,
Could you share an example that you haven't remedied? There are a number of broken link types that Edward has been working on fixing, but I want to see the pattern so he can fix it.
You shouldn't have to change any of your links, including those with trackers, with the subdomain migration. Sorry about the broken links!
Hi Jason,
Here are todays broken links regarding trackers. When I click on them they say "That page doesn't exist" or maybe it has been taken down. I have been deleting many of these prior to asking about how to remedy this. The YouTube videos that were supposedly broken today were not. I just pushed ignore to remove that notice. I have not yet tried to just resave each capsule as paradigmsearch suggested. Thought that I would show this to you first so that you get the example you requested. Thanks!

Hi Peggy,
Thank you for these examples. So, the link that was before:
http://hubpages.com/_joinandwritenow/user/new
has been changed to:
http://hubpages.com/joinandwritenow/user/new
(i.e. the underscore disappeared)?
Hi Jason,
This is what is showing up. Do I need to go back in and insert the underscore? I do not understand why this has happened on some of them but not all.
Peggy,
My apologies for responding so late.
Yes, the underscores would need to be replaced. Could you send me a list of Hubs that this affects (via email), so I can report this to engineering and I can fix them for you, too.
As to those trackers used for other hubs; yep, I changed the url to the new domain format.
If some of your hubs are positively buried in these old format links, then maybe post them and maybe HP will sic their auto-fixer program on it. Note that I said maybe.
edit: I see that Jason has replied. Your rescue is imminent!
Just a quick note to everyone (Peggy & I have been emailing about this offline) that Edward has fixed this issue, so if you do see it come up somehow, please let us know!

Referral trackers which are supposed to give us a share of the income of people who sign up to HubPages via our referral tracker links on our hubs and have been in place for many years suddenly show up as broken links. What's going on? Are we now supposed to get rid of referral trackers? Has anyone...

This is a great feature HP has...flagging Hubs where links within those Hubs are broken.However, just in the last 20 minutes, four of my Hubs showed on My Account page as having broken links. Only one did. (As in, there was no yellow text when looking at those Hubs in edit mode, for three of...

I have read everything I can, mostly through HP, about referral trackers and how to set them up but I still am struggling with this. Is there a "Referral Tracker for Dummies". I have no previous knowledge of this and I would love a step by step instruction guide. A lot of the instructions...

I have not learned what referral trackers are for? Can someone please point me to a forum post that talks about this? Or if there is no historical post about this can someone tell me what this is and how does it benefit a hubber? I am asked to create one but I don't know how to do that and what to...

I've had a few people sign up under my trackers when I send out emails of my hubs, but I was wondering what some of the rest of you have done as far as setting up a more unique way to have friends and family sign up here at hubpages? For some strange reason I don't think my profile link for sign...

Sometimes the counters work.Sometimes they don't.Why is that? I'm talking about perfectly good, working counters that suddenly drop dead.I know the code is still good.And I know they are getting traffic because I self-click test them all the time. I click them and they go where they are supposed to...
