Posted April 21, 20214 yr Hey all, So I have a member who has hyperlinked some text with a link (Url in question: http://dev_tc.axihub.ca/) and I have verified the hyperlink indeed is pointing to the correct URL prior to submitting the post. However after the post submission the system alters the hyperlink and points it to my forums homepage of https://forums.extremehw.net/ Is this a security feature of IPB ? Just need to find out why it is doing that and if I can alter the behaviour. Many Thanks, P
April 21, 20214 yr Solution The hostname of the link you posted contains an underscore. Underscores are not supposed to be used in hostnames and violate the RFCs for valid hostnames. My guess would be that CKEditor is doing something with this link. Posting it here as a test. Test link
April 21, 20214 yr Looks like the same behavior happens here. You should encourage whoever administers that site to consider a hyphen instead of an underscore. In other words, dev-tc instead of dev_tc.
April 21, 20214 yr Author I didn't notice that ! Good spot. This will no doubt be the issue then. Will relay this back to the user.
