Summary

Whilst considering an idea, I had a look at the footer hrefs within the newsfeed left side bar and noticed something strange. On initially viewing the newsfeed section (preceding logging into the platform via a browser), the side bar displays the links that are represented within example 1 of the following screenshot. However, when refreshing or returning to the Newsfeed section, example 2 is displayed (note that I have tested this with Quantum and Blink based browsers).

Within example 2 (which I believe should be considered as being defunct, legacy information / code), there is a href which displays the title IPHONE. This href links to:
https://www.minds.com/itunes.apple.com/us/app/minds-com/id961771928?mt=8
which in turn (when clicked) displays a blank page.

Also within the minds.com/p pages (ie. dmca, terms, contact, bill of rights etc.), at the top of the left sidebar, there is a similar href (which again, displays the title “IPHONE”) that links to the same URL as above. I have also noticed that within the minds.com/p pages, some hrefs refer to URL’s that are prefixed with “https://www.minds.com/”, whilst other hrefs lack the www prefix (ie. “https://minds.com/”). This inconsistency looks unprofessional and needs to be resolved

I reported the above issues over a year ago (whilst Minds Inc. was still using the asana.com service for internal project management and bug ticketing purposes) but the issue has yet to be resolved.
