The link does not work when being clicked upon. That is something pprune apparently does when adding the hyperlink settings automatically. For making the link work, click the adress and delete 2 times some letters out. 1st: %20 and 2nd: <br%20/>
Those are added by this site and not belonging to the link. After that it works.
If there are complaints about the insufficient rapid translation: It's my own.
Just guessed this might be interesting after I saw a shorter article on yahoo.de. For looking everything up I lacked the time right now.
