I know, I know, the only way for me to post links at the moment is to enclose them in Accent Grave.
But even with them the links are too long and I always get the note:
“You can’t post Numbers ###” including dozens of digits.
There were some occassional earlier problems with discord pics/vids, where they became invisible to users of some browsers (or said access denied when trying to view them), but now it just blocks posting them.
Only guess I have is that indian love guru spammer has reactivated again, he posts those super long phone numbers on the forum until they get banned. Then they just make a new account. They (the spammers) usually dwell in the tech subforum which has less traffic.
Admins probably felt it easier to just block all long series of numbers, but it broke legitimate links too.
Now he just adds 00 in the beginning to circumvent it apparently.
(edit - that guy has tormented the WoW forum since 2004 too, and plenty of other non gaming forums)

You can still post Discord links, it is just certain numeric strings that are blocked, such as eight-oh-oh-eight. I certainly don’t have all of them memorized, but if your link has a naughty string, it will be blocked.
The only workaround I have found is to keep uploading it to Discord until you get a “good” string.
For example, here is a Discord image of double Murky into Alarak. Enjoy!
