I have reported this issue weeks ago. Every link i add to link up to another skin is the correct link..until you click on it...the URL in browser will be the link that is posted but adds more symbols and numbers etc that are not part of the link and the page that comes up will say " There are no skins to display " even though I obtained the URL from going directly to the skin. This has been going on for weeks...the only links that will work are links to the users WC Personal Site....( Their Profile page ) but you cant link to their skins in their gallery.

Yep, tried linking to a skin in my last upload and got the same thing. Had to redo and set the link to point to my page instead.

An external link in my screen shot (SG1 You Have A Go) descriptions didn't work, either ....returned an invalid URL message....tried editing it with another copy & paste of the addy without luck....then I copied the exact same URL into an external link box in the comments area and it worked fine.

I'm getting complaints...your links dont work...

Winc has broken them all before...when the new site went up.  

I only use 1 link...a gallery link...be nice if it would stay put and stay working.    

Can you update a skin description without going thru moderation?

Yes, when the new site when up I had to redo all links in previous skins. You just hit the ' edit' button.

But at the moment the broken link thing is a new glitch that started about 2 months ago.
You can go edit the info an add the correct link but something happens in the
' translation' of the URL after that...just seems no link will work when added to the description ..just the WC personal sites.
( then I add after link " Click on Gallery Tab" ) At least it points them in the right directions.

I noticed now at this time, the links to the WC Personal site no longer work either.
When I look at the details I had written the links are correct but when you click on them its coming up " not a valid URL"
And right click " copy link location " shows this : http:///
even though the details show a full URL all you get is the http///
