CANNOT POST LINKS !!!!! Who Else _________________??????????


A few links make it: the majority of my attempts to paste links ends with a BIG  X BLOCKED.

links from eBay, links from amazon, links from Discogs, .....

AND, any prior text disappears when you try to get back to what you had written, just gone.

Thanks @dogberry 

For those that were having a problem posting images, can you try again?
We believe the problem has been fixed. 
Please let me know via this thread.   

 

 

I had no more problem with the temporal order... I think i was the culprit as usual the troublemaker by accident in this case or by words excess in many other cases ... 😉

@mahgister ....temporal order was quiet and boring.....got mussed with back in the '60s' ....never the same since....;l 

yeah. this forum is a few dacades behind. no pics, whatever problem this is...but there are snippets of good discussion on here amidst the flat earthers and routine spammers. 

*cough*

"Addendum to the 'Study Results:

"Audiophilia v. AI v. SOTA Algorhythms: Passing paranoiac loss of reality

OR just 'something' you think you felt while listening that seemed....

hypnotic' 

and that 'went away'....

Conclusions posted at our usual website

Sweet dreamsss

 

@winoguy17  ....yeah, I noticed that as well...this seems to be the most paranoid 

that I've seen.... 😒 

@mahgister ....temporal order was quiet and boring.....got mussed with back in the '60s' ....never the same since....;l 

@dogberry ....same here....and thanks for that. 👍+

one work around is to finish your post without the link. ’post your response’.

then edit your post right away, (gear icon, top right: drop down menu, edit

add the link at the bottom of the original post.

save

I ask for others experience now because i have a problem i never had with this site postings tools :

 

Since yesterday i cannot post a message in the right chronological position at the end of the thread but my posts once ready is placed at first anywhere in the thread save at the end of the thread where it must be...

to retrieve the right order of all posts, my new posts included ,  i must go out of the thread and come back with "Browse menu" above...

Others had this new problem?

and I figured out what noromance meant about simply naming the link.

top box of link: display text, write what you want

paste the url in the url box

hit yes

only the display text you entered appears in the post, all the gibberish is hidden

i.e.

ayon triton III

I’m soooo glad I had this problem, I’ve learned some very useful methods from noromance.

 

noromance solved it.

"Use the insert URL button." (when in a post window: top bar, 3rd from right)

1. copy the url that you want to post (from eBay, Amazon, any url)

2. in your post, click on the link symbol, a drop down box waiting for you to paste the url into.

3. click YES, DONE

it works for me

ayon triton III

 This is the most paranoid site on the inter web. I get blocked every time I try to post a link.

 I use a PC with Chrome browser. I have been posting links successfully for years, until the last few months. I haven't changed anything, same settings with Norton

It ain't me.

Today i observed that my posts are no more located in the right temporal order when i posted them...

It seems corected after a few minutes though ...

But this glitch never happenned before ...

 

Same for me post a link it says blocked but I’m not blocked, question for @elliottbnewcombjr are you using the Firefox browser? I am and that sometimes causes issues. Thanks!

 

BTW I messaged Tammy and Audiogon is not doing this it's a glitch.

OP:  The issue seems to be a bug that raw links don't work, but if you link text to a URL that works consistently well.

So if I were to put in a pure URL here:

http  colon slash slash CNN dot com

That would fail, but the link embedded in this sentence works.

Maybe I am jumping to a Conclusion, but the Gon Forum at present is seemingly overcontrolling and becoming an unattractive place to attend as a Forum Contributor.

This is the reason I left Audiogon for a year. The last straw for me was to get 6-8 posts deleted in 4 months when I had no posts deleted in the 20 yrs previous. Too much drama on Agon and its just not much fun.  OTOH most of the so called "audiophile" boards are also contentious as well. Post anything about cables, or anything that helps conduct a signal better is sure to turn into a bunch of mud slinging. Even on  A'gon I'm not sure that any thread which spoke positive about Perfect Path Technologies ever survived. Like you said, unattractive

@elliottbnewcombjr Simply select the text you want, e.g. "Here is a link," then click the link button. Then paste in the URL of the site. You can also start by clicking the link button and fill in the fields.

@pindac Install ad blocker extension in your browser.

I tried a few days ago to insert a link to a YouTuber who has taken apart many ionisers, some of which might be suitable for use on a turntable. I got the "Blocked" screen.

I find this forum to be the most serious when it comes to all things vinyl, and it is a shame that it is so difficult to use.

I now write in word, edit, then copy and paste, but I need to delete/replace any links in the word original.

that way, if lost, my work is not lost.

Another problem, sometimmes I cannot edit, even text, the cursor refuses to be inserted, like if I want to go back and delete the extra m in sometimes, it just won't let me.

others have this problem occasionally?

The Forum in my experience is dumping the whole post made, if it rejects the Link added to the Post.

To avoid this, the Post is written as a draft mail in my mail account, and pasted to the forum, at least this way the post can be added when the first attempt is rejected.

I don't see any sense in needing to use such a safeguard to get a post viewed.

The idea of not posting is becoming attractive. 

I concur with the OP .

blocking sharing personal contact information is insulting.

pindac

I have said before, blocking sharing personal contact information is insulting. It should be changed.

the new popup ads are annoying, but I figure the site is free, let them make some money somehow. 

noromance

thanks, using the ’link’ worked.

What is not working as it always did, was a simple ’copy and paste’ of a link. Others here have said they are having trouble also.

I never knew that button existed, or what ’link’ meant, it does not say ’insert’ link, just as the photo icon does not say ’insert’ photo.

btw, I have been messaging back and forth with support, (32 messages since 3-2-24) no one mentioned the link button.

how do you change a link from 20 lines of jibberish to i.e.’here is a link’ as you did above? Takes up a lot less space in a post.

As an individual who don't get any pleasure form Cold Callers, Excessive Enforced Marketing and being denied the opportunity to offer to another reasonable assistance.

I have become increasingly niggled by the increasing methods used by The Gon Forum, to ensure other are to see mostly what they are not interested in, when it comes to unavoidable adverts.

The Gon Forum has very recently seemingly allowed whole page Pop Ups to take over ones Browser during a visit to the site, which is very much unwanted.

The Gon Forum has also become a censorship in how it is controlling adding Links where such as the content in a link, is being deliberately denied to the individual who the Link is put up for to assist with supplying extended info to an inquiry  made.

Maybe I am jumping to a Conclusion, but the Gon Forum at present is seemingly overcontrolling and becoming an unattractive place to attend as a Forum Contributor.

I am on the verge of having a absence, as the help I have enjoyed offering to others, is slowly being made more and more difficult to pass on as a sharing of experience had.

eBay solution:
