Hi, I just signed up and started following a bunch of tags, domains, users, etc.

Now whenever I try to follow something, I'm being redirected to deadlink.

I tried not using HTTPS, but that didn't help. I tried using a different browser, but I can't even login on that one (main browser Firefox, tried Chrome) without being redirected to the deadlink page!

Now I'm afraid to logout in case I can't login again. Did I trigger something on my account? Is the influx of reddit traffic causing site problems?

I love the idea, I don't want to leave. You teased me with the ultimate combo of link posting and RSS, and now I'm sitting in a puddle of my own tears. I'll drink them if I have to, whatever hazing is required.

EDIT: It seems to be if I'm on the page for too long, all the links that do things expire. So writing this post for instance took a second try. Every time I load a new page, if I immediately click "follow" it works. If I refresh an old page, it works as well if I click follow really quickly.

forwardslash:

It's a bit of a quirk of hubski and we're trying to fix it at the moment, but the root problem will be around until we completely replace it. As you've already noticed certain links expire after a while and due to an influx of new users and general traffic these links are expiring faster than they should.
