I'm kinda clueless, but I *am* trying to understand this....

There have been several folks trying to go to my website and getting
the 404 error page. It appears that the error is coming from
*something* appending "-Hidequoted " to the URL. I'm guessing this is
a screw up from google groups.

Can anybody comment on this or otherwise shed some light on the
occurrences?

As far as I can see, this problem only occur when someone read a reply
to one of your posts through Google Groups, as Google Groups hide quoted
text from previous posts in a thread and then add a link to toggle
view/hide of quoted text.

That was my suspicion. This is characteristic of what I am getting
back in the error logs:

"pamandgene.tranquilrefuge.net/boating/the_boat/my_boat.htm-Hide "

I suspicion that the "-Hide " (as in "Hide quoted text...." or the
like...), which breaks the link, is an unwanted and unintended
consequence and/or gift from some web based newsgroup reader such as
google.


Gene, for giggles try putting an "" and a "" respectively before and
after the link to your website (in your signature). No spaces .... just:
websiteurl.

It works well to identify and isolate the complete URL. The arrows won't
show up in the posted link.

Worked well for me.
