Yes, because I tend to post things similtaneously in different spots so I always check to make sure that I didn't accidentally copy and paste the wrong link.

yeah why would you not check???
OK maybe I'm paranoid about stuff like that, my friends all say I have a kinda OCD thing with things lie that.

yea i check, but they can become outdated or the site may pull it so just mark them broken if they don't work.

I may be guilty once or twice myself but I've clicked on links to members only sights. The links work fine if you are a member but everyone else gets "access denied".

Usually when I post a link, that's where I've just come from. I had one instance where Fanpop told me to check the address again, but when I did, it still worked. I have no idea why I got that message.

ineedcoffee - Good words of advice... sometimes links do become outdated or just disappear, so please mark them as 'broken'.
I think this is especially true of sites with video or audio, and they usually get removed or shut down because of copyright issues.

JoeLaveau - I've run across that problem too. If I post a link that requires some type of membership, I make a note of that in the description.

I never do, and then when I find out that it has been flagged I just smack my head in disappointment.

Fanpop has an automated link check when you first post it so there is no need to check it yourself...

If you are asking if I periodically go back through all my links to make sure they are still good... oh hell no. HA!

True DrD, but it only checks if the URL is vertified and accessible. I few days ago I posted a link to the Abbott & Costello Fan Club on the A&C spot & when I checked it the site was a business-related site that had nothing to do with Bud & Lou. What went wrong? There's another site with exactly the same name except with only one T in Abbott. Uncanny but true!

I'd have just looked at that website to decide that I want to add it, that's checking. And I sporadically check my previous link and video contributions.

Got sick of posting them only to realize later that it did not.
