What has happened to the ability to post links to sites in these messages?

Having the links take us to the proper site is a quick and easy way to convey whatever the discussion is.

If it is because it is some new "improvement" to protect us...then unwind the improvement.

Looks like it still works for me.   Maybe the site you are trying to link to is on the naughty list?   Or your computer has some new update that is 'protecting' you ?

David I have been able to post links. Sounds like it might be something at your end. Clay/Lexi

I tried to post a link to Bill Hirsch Cadillac Blue engine paint.  It's a no go.

Dunno what to tell you,  its pretty rare for me that something computer related works so I don't know what to tell you.  Usually I'm they guy having to be talked through everything.

Chris, when I have gotten this message while trying to post a link, I just copy my message into my clipboard by selecting all of my message, right click on the selected text, choose copy—so that I don't have to recreate it—then I exit the Forum.  I log back into the Forum with my name and password, go the original message that I was responding to, or message that I was creating, right click into the message space, click on paste, my original message appears from the clipboard. post it, and it has always allowed me to post a link.  Most times I can post a link without going through all of that rigmarole.

I was also attempting to post the Hirsch paint link and got the error.

OK, so it is is on my end, sorry for the rant.  I will delete my cache and see if that fixes it.

I've never had these kind of issues before and it drives me nuts when the simple stuff does not work.

Still working. Thought I would try posting another link in case the issue is on this site and transient. So far OK at my end. Clay/Lexi

I deleted my history and the site will not accept the link from me.  I am running a Mac, so possibly an update on either end is causing the conflict.

This will be troublesome as long as it lasts.

David I am the last person to dispense advice on PC issues, but was there not a disclaimer a while back on the CLC Forum that the site uses Java, and that application is necessary for it to work properly? If so, could that be a source of trouble? Not sure, but if Java is potentially a problem you should check to see if you have the most updated version. Or for that matter, any other app that this site may work with. Having a Mac does complicate things. Clay/Lexi

The only way I'm able to post links is if I create and post a message without the link, then go to edit or modify, insert the link and then accept the changes. Try it out.

Well, looky there, it works.  I'm not a smart man, but I don't think my computer is the issue...

This has come up before.  It's the new "anti-spyware"
that our computer guy installed a few months ago.
Sometimes it blocks me from entering a link,
sometimes not.  That's a good work-around to
post your message then come back and modify.
I'll try that next time.

David,

I just tried to post a .docx file, and was rejected, but when I changed it to a .pdf file, it worked beautifully.

Very curious, I am now having the link issues.   Still using the same computer from the same location.  No updates to anything.   The work around leaving the attempted post back to the main section then reply again without the link then editing to add the link works.
