DevForum links are filtered on Announcements but not Group Shouts

When using the classic group shouts, you are able to put a link to a Devforum post without it being filtered. This type of link is allowed. However, when I try to do an announcement through Guilded with a Devforum link, it is always filtered no matter how I format it.

I am using Google Chrome, this bug occurs on both Mac and Windows devices.

Expected behavior

I expect the Devforum link not to turn to ##### because according to Roblox, it’s an allowed link.

This is happening now with none devforum links. But on group shouts. For example. A very nice link from a website called ROBLOX that is a loadData script. Which is for sharing a video in a TikTok clone

But I don’t expect a roblox.com link to become this

I just tested a devforum link on one of my groups that still use shouts and it’s not censored.

No. I meant the actual Roblox link. Not DevForums

I cant post devforum links anywhere on Roblox. Not on game descriptions, group descriptions, group shots, messages, or anything.

I was able to put a devforum link on my game description and group description. Strange!

Yeah. I just tried to put the link of my post on my group description, then tried a different link and it works. Seems like my post is uniquely filtered for whatever reason? Is there a way around this?

My post: Silly Party - Update Log

The other post I tried: [OGC] Guide to the Group, Game, and Events

Edit: tried removing the numbers at the end, it wasn’t filtered, and it leads to the proper page so… i guess it really isn’t a problem anymore

Hey, any update on this? I’ve been 2.5 months and it’s been affecting the way I host events at my group.
