That link doesn't work

does and then select the bottom one
it works here,
What matters is whether it works everywhere
I don't know why it wouldn't.
Its clearly the bit in brackets that stops it working
although in this case the trailing ) does make it
thru to the browser. That is often the problem
when it doesnt
what browser are you using?
Chrome, but I am using Opera as a usenet client
and that's significant because that's what cuts
the link from the post when you click on it
I used FF

I copied the link from the url bar,
There is no url bar with any usenet client I have ever
used, I just click/tap on the link in the body of the post
which showed the later part as: Ford_Model_A_(1927?1932)
Thunderbird must have put the html code in

seems that's what's causing the problem
Doesn't work properly in NewsTap on an iphone either
In that case it just drops the trailing ) and wiki asks
if the full link with the ) included is what I intended
I used FF

I'm just saying the original link that didn't work for you
And plenty of other usenet clients
was copied˙˙ from the FF url bar and pasted here
Nothing to do with the browser used, everything
to do with what the usenet client passes to the
browser when you click or tap on the link
