I recently wrote a post that took some time to research, edit images and add links. When I hit 'Post' I got a warning that something in the post wasn't accepted. I didn't understand this a first and, totally frustrated, was about to delete the post when I figured out what caused the warning was a web link that wasn't trusted by CCF.
Does the CCF have a list of these disallowed links? It might be a nice to know what sites are banned. I've had the same problem with linked information in the past and just abandoned the post, but this time I was really angry that I'd put a lot into my post and wasn't going to be able to make my reply.

Good question. I think certain wordings also through up a warning,if I remember right I had to change the way I had worded a sentence before it would post. John1  |

Unfortunately posting a list of the banned sites kind of defeats the purpose. Most are banned because the spammed the snot out of us at one point or another (like the one you tried) and made our lives miserable.
Today I'll try to look at including the bad site in the warning.

I figured it was something like "sites with poor or incorrect coin information." Never thought about them spamming the CCF. THANKS for letting us know!

I've added it for some of the more common ones, try the site you tried yesterday and see if it tells you.

Thanks for the modification to the warning page. I tried it for both yesterday's link and the one I attempted several months ago and both work like a charm. I think it will save members of CCF some frustration when a link doesn't meet the site's sine qua non. (Cool, I found a new word! Hope I used it correctly!)

Does the warning show on preview and submit?

No. I only saw it when I posted.

You'll see it when you submit, you can then hit the back button and edit, unless you're using a broken browser.

I guess I'll start trying to back up all CCF posts I try to include links in, then. (I think I've had the back-button thing work sometimes. Less often than not. I don't recall offhand which browsers had it and which didn't, but both categories included some fairly major browsers. It might also have depended on whether I was in incognito mode.) |

That back button works 100% on Firefox on every site I use. Even if I close the tab, undo (CTRL-SHIFT-T) brings the page back with all text entry intact.

I'm using a Development version of Microsoft Edge. It's Version 87.0.658.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit). It uses the Chromium open source project and other open source software. "The Chromium projects include Chromium and Chromium OS, the open-source projects behind the Google Chrome browser and Google Chrome OS, respectively. Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web."
Even if I hit a wrong button, close the browser or have a problem with my PC, it goes back to the exact point as when the error occurred including all windows open at that time and any information that was entered will still be present in the text box.
Being a "Test" version, some updates may cause odd glitches, but they are few and far between and less common with every update.

I have the release and canary versions of "ChrEdge" (the new Edge) installed. I prefer using the new Edge for doing MS365 (fka O365) stuff, just as I prefer to use Chrome when doing Google Apps, uh G-Suite? No, Google Workplace stuff. It may be in my head, but it seems the browsers prefer their own dog food.  I always use Firefox for CCF though.  |
