You need to check every link. It's not because they are in the approval that they are automatically pending to be deleted.I deleted items that were already pending to be deleted.
My understanding is that those links were broken.
If using XenAddons Link Directory add-on, you have to be careful. Sometimes the URL check returns that the URL is not valid, but when you actually visit it, it is a valid URL. I don't know if it's a bug in the LD add-on or not, I just check them manually when they get in the approval queue. Usually the check is right, but I have come across several that apparently block automated checks?You need to check every link.

I don't imagine those checks always hit gold 100% first time either. At least in my experience using other url integrity checkers automatically. They're a tool of what to look at, not much more.If using XenAddons Link Directory add-on, you have to be careful.

That's what I'm saying. Just because it says "URL Check Failure" - does not mean they are actually invalid. If you blindly stare at that you end up deleting items that are legit and end up having frustrated members, like @Al - boy does he get frustrated often. lol ily Al.If using XenAddons Link Directory add-on, you have to be careful.

$httpResponseStatusCodeWhiteList = [200,201,202,204,205,206,300,301,302,303,304,307,308];
I know with roughly 1200 entries, the automated URL check makes it nice keeping up with sites that may have gone dormant, especially since many of the links are to hobby astronomy groups that can tend to come and go or move their association to a larger group.Here is a prime example of a well known site returning a status code that is considered a failure. This link directory item should have URL checking disabled as they are never going to fix this so that it returns a 200.
