"This User Does Not Exist" message on link to one of my threads

On my profile page I keep links to my threads in the 75 Book Challenge Group each year. For some time now, the link to one of my 2014 threads on that page yields a message that says "This User Does Not Exist". I do, in fact. What's more, all my other links work fine. I have edited this one more than once, replacing the URL for that thread, but it doesn't fix the problem.

Here's the link: https://www.librarything.com/topic/162719
It works fine from this message, and I haven't found any other problem accessing that thread, EXCEPT from the link on my profile page. It's a small thing, but peculiar. Any help?

That link is improper html. I can't tell for sure what it is (I can't see your raw html) but right now it's trying to link to https://www.librarything.com/profile/<br

>2 conceptDawg: I'm copying the link from the thread itself. I just did it again before I posted above. It's not MY html.

>1 laytonwoman3rd: and >3 laytonwoman3rd: Sorry, >4 laytonwoman3rd: was me (was checking your HTML). I had logged out and back into my account before posting that message. Apparently a new way that Talk is posting, now, I should've refreshed the page before posting. My apologies.

Here's what I meant to post from my account: just above your 2014 link, there's an unclosed, empty "<A HREF=" line that I'm guessing is causing you trouble. If you remove that line above the 2014 link, does this fix it?

>5 kristilabrie: It DOES! Thank you so much. I did not see that fragment, even though I've gone in there to edit it at least 3 separate times!
