Can't see links that are posted in threads

Never had a problem with this until after the latest Windows update. Don't have a clue as to where to start troubleshooting this although I suspect it's something to do with security preferences from the OS and/or third party apps. Any help toward dogging this issue down is appreciated,

That one works. Hmmmm...I recall viewing quite a few posts in various threads where the poster is referring to a link that I can't see, or there's a flash image of a link that immediately disappears after the post mounts.

The plot thickens. And thanks for replying WelshBloke, I'm that much closer toward sussing this thing out.

Love your sig btw.

You can see the link as just a text thing or as that annoying preview thing?

Now I have to go check what my Sig says!

I made a user style to get rid of "that annoying preview thing".

@-moz-document domain("forums.anandtech.com") {
.fauxBlockLink[data-url] > .contentRow > *, .fauxBlockLink[data-url] > .contentRow div { display: none; }
.fauxBlockLink[data-url] > .contentRow > .contentRow-main.contentRow-main { display: block; }
.fauxBlockLink[data-url].fauxBlockLink {
    background: transparent;
    border: none;
    margin: 0 0 1.4em 0;
    padding: 0;
    width: auto;
    display: inline-block;
}

.fauxBlockLink[data-url]:after {
    content: attr(data-url);
    color: #22229C;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

.fauxBlockLink[data-url] .fauxBlockLink-blockLink {
    display: block;
    line-height: 0;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    overflow: hidden;
}
}

Maybe it would help? Or maybe you're using it and it's causing the problem?
