> GUEST Harrison. You apparently used the mudcat "linkmaker" that sometimes fails by adding some extraneous mudcatmudbits to the URL. Some people use it with no problems but I'm not quite that smart, I guess.

No I didn't actually, but thanks for correcting it.

I created the URL myself directly from the address of the MS page, which I still have open in another tab, by pasting its address between the quotes of the href attribute of the <a> HTML tag. Mudcat must have shafted it when I submitted the post. If so that's really, really bad, not much better than malware.

WARNING! THREAD DRIFT AND RANT!

More generally, Mudcat seems to have been written by (a) rank amateur(s). It's a blasted pain to use.

:-( Firstly, it comes up as white text on a white background on my PC, because whoever wrote can't do a simple thing like style a colour scheme properly, or test it adequately when done. For a fuller explanation of why, see (let's try this again) here:
Windows & Web Colour Setting Bugs

:-( There's no way of editing one's own posts if you've made a mistake.

:-( When you go into a thread in doesn't take you automatically to the latest addition, and although you can click the d option for the longer ones, you still have to scroll past all the post links, so that is really not much help.

:-( There's no way of watching particular threads and ignoring others.

:-( Now we find it's behaving like malware in corrupting valid links.

Really, the standard of web design and programming these days is p*ss-poor!
