When you look at my forum you'll see the latest newsletter centered on the homepage (below welcome message) and a link to the Newsletter Archives in the left column.
However, when you click on the links in some of the earlier newsletters (I didn't use links in my last letter) you'll get a 404 error "Page not found" whilst if you copy and paste the links into a new browser window, they will work ... 

Any solutions?
Known bug?

Don't know much about this kind of stuff, but when you hover over the link and look at the bottom left of the browser window you see that 'forum' is missing from the link... it is showing in the link displayed in the article.

You're right Ken!
I hadn't noticed that.
I can fix this by changing all the links manually.
THX. I think.

But, why would TP alter the URLs of links that I put in my messages? 
I pasted them into my articles after copying them from my browser address bar ...

Don't know the answer to that one... maybe someone else can say why for you. 

EDIT: Are you using an editor of any kind? I use MS FrontPage for some of my stuff and always have to check each link because FP will change them sometimes.

Nope, no editor.
However, strange as this might sound to you, I write my articles in Outlook Express (creating a draft email) because I can press the "save" button there as much as I want ... 
I then copy them into the new article at TP.

Maybe that will be the reason.
Maybe I should experiment the next time using another way?

Never tried Outlook Express as an editor so have no clue, but I've read of various editors causing issues and in my case know first hand that FrontPage can cause problems.
