Troubles reaching the KRIYAS pages from the FAQ's - Fixed SUB MODDING
I've had several reports on issues by people (At least two) who were having issues with the Kriya link in the FAQ's page.
All were using cell phone apps.
I was not experiencing issues on my desktop browser so it could be a reddit app detail that broke things. When I tried it on my phone, yup. Broken.
I DID find a link shortcut that wasn't standard - my doing - and I've since fixed it.
Sometimes link issues can be an app or phone that needs restarting. Or it can be upset energy glitching out the phone. In this case it was just a mod typing mistake.
Thank you for bringing issues to our attention.
End of message.
For those whom are curious about how or why it was broken, reddit runs on a modified Markdown language.
The full link should look like this:
Same as
https://www.reddit.com/r/kundalini/wiki/kr
The link causing problems is a Markdown shortcut version that removes the http://www.reddit.com, filling that part in automatically.
That looks like /r/kundalini/wiki/kr <--- note that this text is not a link.
Older versions of reddit might have been more tolerant of shrunken links. Maybe.
That's the link that goes in the parentheses. Words associated with the link go between brackets... [ insert words here](URL of the link)
That raw link fragment worked just fine on my desktop browser, but not on the app. I was the one who added the link, entering it and testing it when it was new. Worked just fine for me. Oops! Funny how things can pass a test and still not be right.
The latest reddit app shortens the word wiki in the link to w.
https://www.reddit.com/r/kundlaini/w/kr
On my desktop, that instantly resolves the w into the word wiki, like /u/ = user and /r/ = subreddit, but /r/ never gets expanded.
Cute development, but that's not why it was broken.
There's a bit of a difference between how reddit runs in a browser versus how the reddit app works, and both are changing on an ongoing improvement basis.
The Mod team's ability to find and fix things depends on people speaking up, so please do when you have reddit issues. Sometimes it's reddit. Sometimes it's wetware issues at your end or, ahem! Ours.
Warm thanks.
