Bad Gallery Youtube Hot Links

[erco]

On Chrome, I was looking at my robot arm project at https://picaxe.com/project-gallery/6-dof-robot-arm/ and all of the Youtube video hot links go to a "video isn't available anymore" page when I click on them. But the text of the link is correct, if I highlight the text and right click "go to http://..." it works.

Something weird going on.

Aha. The embedded URLs have changed capital letters to small, which does not work. I know all links used to work properly but something has changed. Forum moved or software upgrade?

Thanks for letting us know and I will pass the information on.

Not sure what has happened but, if things have been converted to lowercase it may be hard to restore those to the correct case if that original information isn't available.

At least in my project's case, the text displayed in the link is correct (highlight+copy+paste+goto works) but the hyperlink itself has been lowercased.

I'm a fan of the gallery, it's good for showcasing what picaxes can do and it's also great for getting inspiration of projects to try and to see how others package their projects. I see the project archive ends in June 2020. Is the monthly competition still active? Or has archiving been stopped because of a shortage of monthly submissions?
