Q&A alert e-mails no longer contain links back to the question referenced in the e-mail
-
How does everyone feel about no longer having direct links back to questions we may have answered or asked in the e-mails?
Until just recently when somebody commented on a question you had commented on easily you were able to click a link and see if it was maybe another question for you if you had not been clear enough the first time or if you needed to give more info whatever the need you had a link directly to The question referenced in the email.
Now all I can do is click on the person's profile which unfortunately does not get me back to Q&A to reply if needed to any questions.
I have to go through all the steps again and find it strange why you guys would remove the link going straight to the question being referenced in the email.
PS I love you and look the at new e-mails they look great. This is not anything big, but it was a nice advantage, and I will happily give up for all the great stuff you guys are giving us now. However if it would not be a burden I would love to see you back in their how does everyone else feel?
Sincerely,
Thomas Von Zickell

thank you Keri!

On the first screenshot, I'm thinking that maybe images aren't loading. I'll make sure that we have links back to the question that are in text and not just images in the future, but not sure exactly when that rollout will be. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi believe this shows that it is a problem maybe with my mail host? I turned off my spam filter and answer some questions and got the same though. I don't believe Peer1 Exchange mail 1 is at to blame however I will inquire with them if you guys think that is the Reason for this however I must say I've never had an issue with email like this before.
Any thoughts are more than welcome and I have tried three or four different mail clients now. It seems like the issue might be a little bit more complex. Thank you so much for any and all help

We can look at hyperlinking the question, as we'll be doing some more tweaks to the emails.
One of the feature we did add was having the question title in the subject line, so messages about different didn't get lumped together in gmail anymore.
-
On my iPhone5 (Gmail App), it shows up fine.

Worth checking that. I don't collect mail on any iOS device. However I do know that we deal with a hugely disproportional number of support issues regarding mail on iOS. Being polite I would say that it "isn't particularly robust".
It is publishers responsibility to test/fix that, as it is a popular enough platform. That doesn't make it any less annoying though.
Might not me that, but that's my immediate suspicion.
-
Earlier, it was the actual question that was hyperlinked. Now, as matbennett said, it's a button. The "Go to question" button.
I hope this helps.

Very good point, could be that it made might be my mail client. Using an iPhone five and it's also not showing up as well in sparrow a Mac mail application. It could be that thank you for telling me I'm going to try a different mail.
sincerely,
Thomas

I'm looking at some recent notification emails, and they all have the link back button for me. It is a button rather than a text link now though. I wonder if it isn't rendering correctly in your mail client or something.
Out of interest - what mail client are you using?

Links don't add up
Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm new to seomoz. I've run an analysis for one of my pages and it's showing 624 total links - 118 internal and 6 external. Why doesn't the sum of the internal and external links equal the total links?

How to Link build for our site
Hello, A client of mine has a site that gives advice to people. It's moderately competitive. It's a content site. Using Open Site explorer, I looked up competitor's top pages and backlinks, and there were things such as sites that were heavy on directories, sites heavily on editorial mension, sites on juicy topics that I don't want to cover, and the rest was pretty much junk. Just so that you know, I only link build with quality websites that look strong, long term, have a nice design, are high quality, and are not a directory (with a few exceptions) What's the standard way to link build with a site like this? We've got 7 articles of good content that is from me spending hours learning about the subject and using my skills as a life coach. Right now I'm just adding quality content and social media. I am not a top expert in the field, but I'm learning as much as possible. How do we link build?
