do these work for others?

So I've been aware of this situation for a while but somewhat intermittant, ie sometime links work

I copied and pasted the top link twice then deleted after the ? for the second and posted.

Then I clicked on both and both worked on this PC logged on and a second PC which has never been logged on to DIYnot, then added the 'do these work' line.
Now neither link work - strange that it changes for OP

copy and paste the link also gets this: https://www.diynot.com/sf/ I think this is a forum issue.

However highlighting the link and left clicking works fine

It looks like a DIYnot site problem. In the page source the HTML for the second of Sunray's links (I picked the second as it's shorter) is

That makes

the URL that you go to when you click the link.

If we look at his post #20:

A little while ago someone pointed me towards this site: https://healthlighting.com/blogs/wellness/best-light-bulbs-for-health

the code for the link is

It really does look as if it's definitely this site choosing to make Screwfix links go to

and not where they should.

That's exactly what I'd expect to see.

What happens if you do exactly the same thing with a different link, such as: https://www.tesco.com/

EDIT: you beat me to it.

just left clicked on the shorter link again and got to here

So yes intermittant unless someone is watching and made changes...

EDIT But left click again I get this

Simple click did not work, cut and paste did.

Oh, changed the 22 watt CFL to a 12 watt LED, top LED bottom CFL, seems very little difference.
