Don't know if something has been changed on that post but it's ok on my OnePlus 3.

@Arthur @kearton

 

What phone and are you on the beta app or the normal one?

@FN-GM are you on the beta app?

[FN-GM]

I just use the app from the Play Store.

What phone and are you on the beta app or the normal one?

Nexus 6P and I was using the beta version of the EduGeek app (v5.0.123, build 296).

 

I will test again with the regular non-beta app shortly.

@elsiegee40. TES links work in the normal app. No 404s.

 

[elsiegee40]

I have just tested the beta app on my tablet and redirected to both Chrome and the standard browser getting the 404 problem both times.

 

It's looking like a beta app problem

[kearton]

Yep. I have beta...

@elsiegee40. It's not just TES links that are affected. Twitter URLs get an apostrophe appended to the end of the URL too.

 

I noticed it when visiting the link in the OP of the thread below.

@ZeroHour have you seen this beta problem?

@ZeroHour have you seen this beta problem?

 

It is working on an older version of the alpha app I am testing but I am just deploying the newest alpha to my devices to test that and notification changes before rolling it out to beta users.

Test reply.
