NewZed Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I've pasted links in to posts and they automatically embed but the site will not accept the post unless I convert it to a plain text link. And the error messages have been different and unclear. I would guess that people have just quit inserting links or given up on posting links, because of this issue.

Zetsaz Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Can you give an example or post a screenshot of the error messages you're seeing? Seems to be working okay for meYoutube link https://www.vintageair.com/builder-series/ Vintage air link using hyperlink command in post editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I will paste the link to your post and see if I can copy the result. I've copied it and am using CTRL V. It will show the image of the post, but won't accept when I hit "Submit Reply". So, it didn't work. I'll post the error message in my next post. It's what showed up after I hit "Submit Reply". I had to delete the embedded link to get this one to come up. Here is the image of what I attempted to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Here is the link to the web error page. I had to paste it then use "display as a link instead". https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/131711-unable-to-embed-links-only-plain-text/?tab=comments&failedReply=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetsaz Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Seems to be working for me. I hit the X in the black dialog box that comes up initially and it worked fine linking to your posts. Just tried it again without closing the dialog first and it still works. Your error message that pops up looks like the same thing that shows up on dead links from google or from old forum posts that have a link to something that the hyperlink to has changed since switching servers or whatever maintenance killed a lot of links on here years ago. Seems weird that it's giving you dead links to others' recent posts though. Edited August 8, 2020 by Zetsaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks for the observation? It works today. Maybe it's the Heisenberg effect. If you had tried earlier maybe you would have got the same message. Who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the thread is at least useful for someone who ends up finding the problem again and we can try to replicate it if it continues.
