The click tracking looks like it gets hung up. ---

Not so much hung up as it goes absolutely nowhere. ---

> [@AdamCapriola](#): > > The click tracking looks like it gets hung up. Yep, it thinks that the URL doesn’t exist in the post, so it rejects the redirect (the URL is added in later by the JS - the cooked has just a `
` placeholder). It’s ‘secure’ in that this prevents it from being an open redirect, but something might need to change here. ---

URL is in the post but whenever there is link in a post (raw), there is no corresponding entry in TopicLink which is looked into for redirection link. ---

Still an issue for us. Very frustrating as I always click the title :(. ---
