That's odd! I've never had an issue posting links here, @erik_squires. What exactly was the message you got when you were blocked? Was the entire post blocked?

@cleeds Yes, it blocks and erased the entire message.  It was a mundane message talking about network speeds, buffers, caches... etc. For kicks, would you try replying with a link to a Wikipedia article?

If I try to reply to this thread wiht a post from Wikipedia about Transmission Control Protocol I get;

@erik_squires I found that thread and inserted your link, which was an excellent suggestion. For whatever reason, I wasn't blocked. Most odd.

Perhaps one work around is to describe the search formulation you use, the author, name of site, date (if content is dated) and within the bounds of fair use, quote some relevant portion if you are engaged in critical commentary. 

Sounds like a personal problem.

For those that commented in this thread that were having problems, can

you try again?  I believe we have fixed the  issue.

@erik_squires 

Good to hear is wasn't intentional.

Nope, still can't post from Wiki

@erik_squires  Please send an email to [email protected] with the link you are wanting to add and I'll be glad to help you.

This happened to me just once about a month ago when I tried to link a video from YouTube. It took about four attempts to get it to work and alls been fine since. 

Here's a link from Wikipedia on networking.

All the best,

I cannpt post links.

I get big X from Cloudflare the past week. And, if you try to go back, everythinh you have written is goneXXXX

I've been writing Tammy, so far no solution.

I just tried a link, blocked again

Great site. Wait for AI. Nobody will know up from down. Hope not. Not a reflection on AG.

This is a test link

See if that works

OK, I see the problem.  If I try to copy/paste a bare link it will not work.

On the other hand, if I embed a link like this one it works fine.

Thanks to the OP.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago.

Good to know.

Having the same issue trying to post a link to Genie Clips.  Ended up suggesting the OP simply Google the product.  Hope it's a temporary issue.  

still unable to post a link

Same blockage issues for this user on several occasions. 

This is a test. You cannot edit and paste your link. You have to use the link symbol above.

This is a test link

@erik_squires, please review the above and try again. Thanks. My link above is a link to Wikipedia.

@hgeifman Yep, as I noted above, embedded URLs in text work fine.  It is only bare URLs that won't work. 

Had a similar problem (getting blocked) last week, but it was just the link, not me
