forwardslash thenewgreen So this link won't post. Basically, when I hit submit post the page refreshes and it gives me this error.

Yeah, we just have some arbitrarily strict url validation. I eased it up and it should work even without the http[s]://

Thanks slash!

If this is the only time this error message is delivered, maybe we can make it more specific. "Please check the URL" or "Please try copying and pasting the full URL again" or something like that. When this happened to randomuser, even I had no idea what to do or could be causing it.

You may need a prefix like "http://"

Hubski seems a little intolerant of non-standard URL sometimes.

[edit] It might also require at least one "tag".

It's funny because another link from the sam esite/format worked.
