Every email notification I receive contain broken links. An example of a link to the thread would be:

http://url6319.gamespot.com/ls/click?upn=WQr-2BrCUaYWEtHJ1odeqgoUBwDXqGoepxb7fHEKfuMKiIZB9zbGmgiXxt6AHKrvRnx76dwBQa12jGdq01Cj0ZhpZMLCNQ3iNHIFsO-2FdLFuYdWFDV3I9jq8m-2FvrNWGQzvvSwbR1nJDB2dM4izaDR3xzppBcd4IojKPJQbR5FarTTY-3DDkCu_vaHsFK8J4bbP5g-2BGDJ2ggt49oETmQEfSbZz7jIoFO8Ys-2BBeFvlUHRbD6BQcq8S-2Bz2jxaBH9iMmxjWLZBlm-2B6CoEvGuoQ-2BjH8qynxNJEvssWPiNJKsO4zq3TeUqHgbn7jrm2yn1ypXC1iNh9lZYGkLoZDyvJbv4x4X9vwwX307PYcwC-2BwtbuFwyGz4E2GVcnBMDkvC6mZBU5-2Bv5cbg0BgUQ1gI4uhBEP1s8d6O9RBjK10kDU005IhGlT0YiGhPflt

Which throws a cert error and fails. It also fails if I replace the url6319 part with www. All of the links in the emails are like this.

FYI for staff, looking back through my email it's been like this since sometime mid 2019.

Hi there,

Can you give me some more information about which email service you use, as well as your browser?

My GS account is associated with a Gmail account. Chrome is reporting the certificate error. When I open the same URLs in Edge, it just redirects to a www.gamespot.com address without an error. Here's a screen grab of the cert error:
