Why is the system recently refusing links?

If I'm posting something related to news, naturally I usually try to include a link, out of courtesy. Lately, though, the site is fighting me.

Right now I tried three different ways to copy-and-paste a link: From the text of another post, from a Word document, and from the original URL. Nothing. The copying is fine because I have no problem posting it elsewhere. The site is just refusing to take the paste.

Hi there @MsAmerica. Can we ask are you pasting directly into a post? Like this: https://www.mumsnet.com/.

If so, does it work if you link through a word in your post using the link button below the box as you post? Like this. (The link button is the one on the far right of the line of buttons that looks like a chain... actually it looks like a pasta bow, but we assume it's meant to be a chain...)

We can't think that this could be an issue on the site and we haven't yet had any other reports about this yet, but we'll see if we can think of anything else that might help in the meantime.

Hi again @MsAmerica. Also, if you'd like to email the link(s) you're trying to post over to us at [email protected], we can test it here. Drop us a line here if you send us an email and we'll look out for it.

Hi again @MsAmerica, and hello @Kachew - can you please let us know which device / browser and version of the site you're using, so we can take a closer look into this. Thanks in advance.

Hi all

If this happens again, please could you send the link over to us so we can test it?
@Kachew as it's all links for you, would you be able to get a screenrecording of this over to us so we can take a look?
