"Link Under Review" 'Glitch' After Editing

OceanBeach92107

Many Forum members have reported the glitch on this website where a valid link is suddenly placed into "link under review" if a member returns to their post and edits it.

To compound the problem, there doesn't seem to be regular reviewing of those links by admin, so unless we make a specific report about it, the link is never revealed.

A recent post by Budman1 is an example:

expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=905334&p=2#4945438

Hopefully that will be fixed by the time anybody views that link.

I'm guessing this is probably associated with a filter to prevent spammers.

Yes, and it works .... but it's also a pain when it comes to posts from proven non-spammers.
It was introduced to stop new posters posting links to bitcoin and other scams, but it needs a little tweeking.
