Hyperlinks Change?

First post, please be nice to me.

 

This may not be the forum for this and if so, I apologize. I also realize this is not possible this year and would require a great deal of rework, but I wanted to put it out there at the same time for the future.

 

I wanted to bring to the attention of The Huddle staff and web designers a problem for those of us that read The Huddle during the day at work or "over lunch" (wink, wink). The Huddle is one of the few fantasy sites that has flown under the radar of most "blacklisted" fantasy football sites for IT security and proxy filters. I am still able to get to The Huddle and read it, but I've run into a new problem, filtering by keyword.

 

For example: From the main page, the URL for fantasy draft kits is http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_draft_kit.php. My proxy is now blocking this content because of the word "fantasy." It's also blocking all other links containing the word fantasy, or about 90% of the site. Any other links, such as http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_draft_kit.php, work for me without issue.

 

I was wondering if, in the future, it would be possible to not change what people see on the web page itself, but only the URL links to various pages so they don't include the word "fantasy?"

 

Thanks.

I work at a large hospital and had to get The Huddle website un-blocked at work in the middle of last season.

 

The IT people had it classified as a gaming-gambling website and it took quite a bit of wrangling to get them to allow it. At least I didn't have to quit and find a more Huddle-friendly place of employment...

I had the same problem until I got a smartphone. BTW - That takes balls to ask IT to unblock a website. Unless your a VP of the company or bring in large dollars I wojld not suggest anyone call their IT dept and ask them to unblock a site unless you need it for work
