Every week I write a roundup of the latest topics that have been discussed on my Simple Press forum and post it as a separate post on my home page.  The Roundup includes hyperlinks to topics with recent posts on the Forum.

One a week my newsletter plugin (MailPoet) does a sweep of all my new posts, (including the roundup) and sends the resulting newsletter to my registered users.

If they are on a desktop computer browser, they can click on the hyperlink in the newsletter that takes them to the Roundup post on my website. From there they can click on the hyperlinks in the Roundup and they go straight to the relevant Forum post.

However, users on smartphones and some tablets are reporting that while they can follow the hyperlink to the Roundup, the lower level links to the Forum just loop back to the same page.

MailPoet support says they have never heard of this (maybe no one has tried it before) and have no idea what is happening.

I suspect that perhaps the hyperlinks to the topics are too long for non-desktop devices … but I am just guessing.

Is that likely to be the case (my users write long, long topic headings which then become part of the URL)? 

If that is the case, is there anything I can do about it?

The website is www.flat-chat.com.au and you will find a couple of Roundup posts on the home page.

Thanks
