"You Can't Include Links In Your Posts"

[Zèroic-tichondrius]

Did the forums get an update? I can’t put links in my posts no more or this just doesn’t work in the OP?

[Braniel-aggramar (Braniel)]

It requires trust level 3.

[Kiaryel-terenas]

Refer to the syntax guide in the guide section.

You can not post Live Links until you hit trust lvl 3.

Prior to that if you put links in ’ marks they will show as plain text that people can copy and paste manually.

Trust level? What’s that?

[Zèroic-tichondrius]

That’s add I was able to do it it before. Guess they changed it.

Trust level? What’s that?

A grinding system for the forums where if you’ve done a certain amount of things like reading posts, liking them, and so and so. You level up.

[Lull-tichondrius (Lull)]

You can link to ‘trusted’ sites, like Blizzard websites, YouTube, or Twitch at trust level 1, I do believe. Wowhead would count in that too, I think.

Trust level 3 can link to all things.

There’s a sticky at the top of GD describing the syntax and forum features.

New Forum Guide - Syntax and Features

Updated: November 16th Greetings Heroes of Azeroth! In your realm I am Siyanati, a traveler who is just now exploring this amazing world of Azeroth. However, in other realms I am more commonly known as WyomingMyst. I am one of the forum MVPs but I often post in Overwatch forum community. The Overwatch forums got upgraded to the Discourse forum platform earlier this year and I spend a lot of time posting on the Overwatch forums (with over 15,000 posts between both platforms). The new forum plat…

Ahh… that clears things up. Thanks!

So like can’t link imgur?

You can but you need to wrap the link in tickmarks (').

@Siyanati-dalaran

If you are not authorized to post a link, you will not be able to complete the post with that link in there, however if you need to post a link if it is urgent, there is a little workaround. Simply wrap the link between two tick marks (`) to bypass the restriction and a code text line of the URL will display (but is not clickable). Here is the syntax for these advanced features:

Yeah, doesn’t work properly. Tried to do troubleshooting with our glorious game service (BNet) in the filename and…“you can’t post that because it contains links”.

Makes tech support stupidly difficult. People can’t even post their WinMTRs or dxDiag reports. This wasn’t very well thought out.

I tried to link raiderio earlier, wouldn’t let me. I guess we finally know blizzard’s stance on it

[Malochai-moon-guard (Malochai)]

You can post from pre approved links at level 2 and other links at level 3.

For example, YouTube is a level 2 link while Flickr is level 3. Wowhead is a pre approved level 2 link. I think Twitch is also level 2.

[Gnomest-sargeras (Gnomest)]

Question. Would doing this be against the rules? If not then I am so happy.

[Rhekkar-barthilas (Rhekkar)]

Well I don’t know for certain, but it’s from a sticked thread, so I assume it’s ok?

[Lull-tichondrius (Lull)]

I guess that doesn’t fall on the list of trusted.

Does it work if you bracket it with `` ?
