When you post a link, PLEASE remove the "?" and the trackers that follow it.
Random example; I picked this link from Fakebook. You can see that it's from Fakebook because it includes "fbclid".
As well as showing that it's from a Fakebook user, it probably also includes other information about me. (Well, it would if I hadn't changed some characters!)
The link works perfectly well without the trackers:
https://www.quordlepuzzles.com/collections/store-closing
A while ago, someone here posted a link to Reddit. The trackers in the link allowed me to log in to their Reddit account and to post as them! (Naughty me.) So PLEASE don't do it!
Disclaimer: I have no connection with quordlepuzzles. It's just a random link that I picked.
EDIT: Youtube links do need the part with the ? in them. More specifically the watch?v=random characters part. Also might include a jump to a start time as in &time=456s
Thanks to u/metalheadtruth for reminding me!
What to do if the link does not work after we delete the tracker?
Excellent question! That will happen occasionally. If you can't delete at least part of the tracker without breaking the link, then please go to www.archive.is and make an archive. Then use that link (from the address line).
I'm not clear on what "doesn't work". Could you please elucidate? What error message do you see when you copy-paste the link into www.archive.is ?
