The Movie Database Support Forum

When I quote an article on the internet, I'd like to provide the source as a link. When I provide the link in comments, it fails trying to submit the comment. Why is this?

I don't know if I correctly understand your question. If you mean adding, in a movie/t.v./person/support discussion thread a link to an article, you should have no difficulty doing that if copying and pasting the article's url into the body of your post. Copy and paste the entire https:// line.

We do have a spam detection system though. I don't really know how it works since I never tried to post spam, but it could be what's preventing you from posting the source.

Are you having issues with a specific website or many different ones? Do you see an error message?

I was in the Bird Box section and answering to a question. I tried to put a link there as source and it gave me a "red box" error. When I removed the link, I could submit the comment. However, I'm able to put the same link over here in this comment. This is strange.

Maybe just a temporary glitch, then. smiley_cat

I even tried google.com i got the same "red box" error. the error doesn't specify anything. just says something went wrong. when i remove all links, the comment get's submitted. Is it because I'm a new user? Also, I'm able to add links to comments in this discussion. Copy-Pasting content from the internet with no attribution is just plagiarism because the site feels the need to restrict links.

you are right it was just temporary. geez thanks. I feel sheepish.

Haha, it happens. I'm glad we were able to "solve" the issue without Travis. I'm closing this discussion.
