Logos links broken in latest update

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Since installing the latest update, Logos links no longer open in the app, even when it's open… for example when I clicked on https://ref.ly/Job13-16;netbible2ed, I got a browser page opened to https://biblia.com/books/netbible2ed/Job13.1-16.22 , which isn't even the Logos app!!!

It's bad enough I get repeated prompts in the app to pay for a subscription that would give me nothing, since I had the full feature set prior to subscriptions being a thing. And don't tell me AI, the answer looking for a problem, that "helps" research by giving you a mix of right & wrong information that you have to verify by doing the same research you'd do if AI didn't exist, meaning that using AI guarantees you'll take more time to do the same work.

Now features are disappearing (when the logos4: & logosres: links went away, so did the ability to open links in the mobile app… now it looks like the desktop is following suit). I should've stuck with the free version & bought more books, it would've been a better use of my money.

I can't reproduce what I think you are describing (on Mac with the link in the Notes app).

What version of the Logos app do you have, what operating system are you using and what app do you have the link in?

43.0.377 on Windows… apologies for the delayed response, but it just happened again… if I copy the link & paste it into the "Passage or Topic" search in Logos, that works, but clicking it doesn't (it used to open in app.logos.com, but doesn't even do that anymore)

My links are in Obsidian & Visual Studio Code (I usually use VS Code instead of Obsidian, but it's the same Markdown file & the same result in either app)… if my link were in Logos Notes, it would get replaced by a link to my default Bible, which is a separate issue & why I've always considered Logos Notes unusable for anything except highlights

I think the issue is the registering of Logos as the proper application to receive ref.ly links in Windows. There were lengthy threads about that, including a registry script (and additional threads about MS Office which doesn't work with the standard MS Windows solution) - if you're lucky there's even a Logos support article somewhere about that.

EDIT: this post may help you getting back into the game:
