URL Changes To "Sign to Google" Link

[CharlesPhillips]

When I add links to some of my very similar pages, one of them remains correct but at least two others convert (by themselves) to claim to be "Sign to Google" links.

Optical Satellite Tracking

This site is to document how to track satellites - computerized mounts and telescopes help. It might be called "how to track satellites more easily, using common cameras or even computerized tracking systems" but that name is too long. At first this site is going to describe how to track with a

sites.google.com

This one looks fine.

But this one does not!

Mac Satellite Tracking Applications

As a dedicated Macintosh user, I wanted to run software to help me illustrate what satellites were doing. But finding software for the Mac was extremely difficult. After many hours of effort, and sadly getting very little help from other Mac users, I have compiled these pages to help. Of course

sites.google.com

The only difference that I see is that /opticalsatellitetracking/ is replaced by /macsatellitesoftware/ yet the URL appears to be a Sign in page!

Well the first link resolves to a public page for Xenforo (our forum software) to show the preview. The second link is broken and yields a 404 error since it doesn't exist. So Xenforo is making the assumption that it's a protected page requiring a login and thus puts those words in there as opposed a preview.

Ensure that the second link goes to a valid page that is public and the forum will do the same thing as the first link.

Both pages go to valid pages, both open just fine on both of my Macs.

If you go to:

https: slash slash sites.google.com slash site slash macsatellitesoftware/

it is a valid page. When I click on the "Sign in - Google Accounts" text here, the correct page opens. Hmmm.

Well this is a promising sign:

Well it is now, but it wasn't when I posted my above reply.
