Can't type full IP Addy in post

XRaySpeX · ‎28-09-2025

Trying to type the full "http░://192.168.1.1" in a post errors with "Sorry, unable to complete the action you requested" just after you type it & when you try to post it it fails with 403 Forbidden & an unexpected Google Translate window. Been posting these for years.

Fails both in Body & also in Subject.

Works OK with just 192.168.1.1

The full "http░://192.168.1.1" is preferable as it is clickable whereas 192.168.1.1 is not.

I notice:

It works OK with domain names, e.g. http://add-on.ee.co.uk
@JimM11 used it successfully in https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Broadband-Landline/Broadband/m-p/1570291/highlight/true#M127786
