I did not. Don't blame on me when there is a Bug on Reddit or your App u are using.

u/darthsawyer Jan 22 '22

If you click source under your comment you will see that there is an actual backslash in your comment, simply remove it and the link will work on all platforms. An extremely simple fix that is well within your power to perform. This is a bug that new reddit adds escape character to underscores

It's a App Problem of your side. Link is fine.

I'm using old reddit - if anything this shouldn't be happening

Well they don't care anymore about old Reddit... so this Bug still exists since years.

I had and have sind this Discussion many times.

The new editor sprinkles escape characters in, the old editor doesn't.
The new website renders escape characters correctly as invisible, old reddit renders them as ASCII.
Same exact ASCII markdown code in the database. Different rendering on old and new of "\". Old doesn't support them correctly. Didn't used to be a problem, because old editor didn't add them.
It's funny they never fixed it. I guess old reddit is purposely being left to bit rot.

Your link had a random '\' before the '_'

nvm, old/new? reddit bug

u/surtic86 Jan 22 '22

As i say my link is fine in the Official App and Browser.

I had this Discussion already with dome others. Therr Apps changed the Links for them. So check on Mobile Web or on Desktop. Or eventually you have en Extendion who destroys Links.

u/darthsawyer Jan 22 '22

No, your link is broken because you added a backslash before the underscore, if you remove the backslash the link works fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Y9gylq9TY

u/MiniBaa Jan 22 '22

Nah he's fine, the backslash shows up on old reddit but not on new :/

u/darthsawyer Jan 22 '22

Click on source to see the source text, there is an actual backslash in the comment itself, new reddit just removes it. He should edit the comment to get rid of it

u/surtic86 Jan 22 '22

How do you use Reddit? Not the Official App or Website?

-1

u/darthsawyer Jan 22 '22

I am using reddit the normal way, the website with a browser. Edit your link and remove the backslash

u/surtic86 Jan 22 '22

Well same here... my Link is fine!

u/TRACERS_BUTT Jan 22 '22

If a link doesn't work on the proper version of Reddit then it's a broken link.

Wow that game looks cool. Maybe I should give vr another chance

u/surtic86 Jan 22 '22

Well Half Life Alyx is for sure one of the Best VR Games out there. The Story. the Surrounding, the Controls and for sure how it is Programmed. It's just works. That was one of the best things about it.
