Hmmm... interesting... I just checked my own profile, which has links in it.
It looks like they did tweek something and made it retroactive. Because while all my links are in fact still there, the formatting of them is a bit off.
For example, I have a link to this forum there, currently, the one in my profile looks like:
When in fact, it should look like:
The '] ' has been tampered with.
The differences are minor, but I admit my own links are not in a format many use, depending upon how entered and made, I can easily see this breaking links.
I can tell you for certain it was ok in March, though I admit forgetfulness in not checking and updating it in May, when I last checked all my 4,445 links.
I could only see FanFiction.NET messing with links if it pointed to porn or illegal sites. Likewise for avatars and pics that are of questionable taste and content.
EDIT1: I'll try updating it with a current set, see what it does with it.
EDIT2: Well crud... ok... upon hitting edit, it removed the '[' from the post as well. When I pasted in the new stuff, it looked fine, but when hit the accept changes, it updated, and removed both '[' and ']' and extraneous spaces.
By doing that, while my own links work, I can see why others might not.
Note also, currently, if you were to check it, you might see the old content still. It takes time for a Personal Profile to be properly updated to where others can see it. It is the same with the Member Profile on MediaMiner.ORG.
EDIT3: I just noticed another change, or something I just plain missed. They now have a profile edited entry when looking at a profile page in normal view. Can't say I recall seeing it before. It had to at least be before May 30th. Checked a couple authors who do update their profiles from time to time, and one from 2007 does not have it, yet one from 5/30/08 does..
