Certain links prevent a post from being created

When creating a post attempting to add the domain in the image prevents the post from being created and clicking the blue “reply” button in the editor results in a 403 error, also a label saying “drafts offline” should appear in the bottom right corner of the editor.

I remember experiencing this in the past but i am not sure of when it started happening, it did today though

comparison with and without the link:


To reproduce: create a reply and paste the link in the image above, you should see a label in the bottom right corner saying “drafts offline” and you should get an error 403 when clicking the blue “reply” button

This is what is returned by devforum.roblox.com/drafts.json with a 403.

<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Access Denied</H1>
 
You don't have permission to access "http&#58;&#47;&#47;devforum&#46;roblox&#46;com&#47;drafts&#46;json" on this server.<P>

Editing the post a second time with the link will produce a 409 and a message that your draft is open in another tab.

Only happens if the link is exactly this, with the trailing slash (remove the space). It simply must exist in plain text anywhere in the post.

Would you mind checking if you’re still experiencing this issue today? We made a change around HTTP/HTTPS this morning (RE: this thread).

The issue keeps occuring

Same issue as above unfortunately.

I mean something similar happens to me like that to where I tried posting something and press the button to reply but it doesn’t work.

I sent you a DM, still getting “Access Denied” sadly

I’m not sure but maybe the forum is trying to integrate something with the link but is failing to do so.

The issue appears to still be happening.

I just started getting this issue.
