Posting Error on request forum?

[Pearl Waters]

Every time I've tried to post a new thread in the requests section the past few days, I've been getting an error that says no replies found, and then the thread never appears in the forum. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem?

Here's a screenshot of the error page:

Yes, I had this problem consistently for a while, but no longer! @EvilMonkey sent the following:

The issue you’re talking about with ‘links’ making your post disappear into the ether isn’t new. It’s just when you use the built in ‘link’ button/code from the post form. I think it’s supposed to be to block bots from posting walls of text with various nefarious links hidden within but it just ends up being annoying I know. You can however just post the link addresses and they are clickable within your post, you just can’t make them ‘pretty’.

In a nutshell, just copy the "htpp://....." string into your post as a text string and everything works.

Hope this helps

Andy

Thank-you!

Yeah, it seems to be an anti-spam mechanic but doesn't result in a warning page telling you that's what it is.
