There were not dots. I even tried pasting this directly into the browser (without the quotes, obviously).

The link doesn't work on my phone.

Interesting. Have you guys had trouble with any other links? Larry, are you using a phone? This may be a question for Chris, who is an IT guy. I'm out of my depth.

I'm on my desktop.

I tried right clicking the link, clicking on properties to get the entire link, and pasting it as is in the browser.

The only thought I had is that I know my membership is due soon. However, I still have the "site sponsor" beside my name so I doubt that is the problem. Also, I'm able to post in this thread still.

I use Firefox, and it works fine on the link. But guess what? I fired up Internet Explorer 11 on my Windows 7 desktop, and tried both the short form and the long form of the link. Both of them returned the error message

Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Microsoft is phasing out Internet Explorer in favor of the new Microsoft Edge browser. According to their Tech Support web page, the only version of IE still supported is Internet Explorer 11, and only when it is running on Windows 7 SP1 (but not Windows 7), Windows 8.1 Update (but not Windows 8.1 or Windows 8), and Windows 10 (backward compatible only).

Are you running one of the unholy combinations? Perhaps it is time to change browsers. I like Firefox, but obviously there are others.

Link doesn’t work for me on my iPhone, either.

I'm on Windows 7 Professional, running IE 11.

I tried some earlier hyperlinks to threads within this forum and they worked. It's just this one for some reason. The only other ones that don't work are the ones removed because of spam.

I use both Firefox and IE. I run a paid VPN service that encrypts all my data to and from the remote server. Google doesn't like vpn's very much at all and I get the annoying Captch quite frequently. Strangely enough, Firefox will run my Google searches, even with the VPN running.

I found the InvisiPure HydroWave on Overstock.com. I got 15% off by signing up for spam from them. Hopefully I'll be able to unsubscribe easily in the future.

I'll try hooking up a wireless hygrometer and thermometer, run the heater which should drive up the humidity, run the dehumidifier, and watch the humidity drop. Once the humidity drops, I should be able to turn the heater off except when the temperature drops to below the dew point. The dehumidifier itself is only 100W, so if left running all the time, it's no worse than an incandescent light bulb.

To have made matters worse in the TM, however, I did find one leak. The previous owner had resealed it, but there appears to be a wood frame upon which the vent sits. One of the sides has separated and has left an open gap. If I get a clear day, I'll get up there with a hair dryer then put a dab of silicone sealant into the gap. I may have to remove the entire unit and rebuild the frame. I may also have a leak along the centre seam, as others have. I'll by getting some eternabond tape for that. I see that others have replaced the TM strip on top. I may just leave it. If it becomes unsightly, then I'll scuff it up and glue the strip back.

The Link did not work on Edge for me, but did work on Chrome. Windows 10 desktop. Interesting.

Before I bought our TM I researched how to keep mattresses dry while winter camping and there are many systems that can be used under the mattresses. I'm going try a Den-Dry RV and Boat Under Mattress pad from Amazon.

What have you found to work?

We're in Canada where it's not always the warmest so this will be something we'll have to contend with on a regular basis if we want to extend our camping season into the late fall & early spring.

I can't wait to see your solutions!
