Forum's bbcode bug or I missing something?

[coinlocket$]

I was trying to do a fake link post for the April fools but it seems not working, any idea?

The idea is quite simple to hide a picture behind a link

This was the fake topic

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126790.0

I did manage to hide the fake picture behind another picture with

Code:

[url=https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg][img]https://puu.sh/D8myA/dcafd173da.png[/img][/url]

but when I tried to hide the picture behind a link the forum refuses to do it and removes all BBcode tags.

With this tag post only the image link without posting the written code "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3"

Code:

https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg

<- forum cuts the code when you use this code and post only the picture link



With those codes is not working at all

Code:

[url=https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg][url]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3[/url][/url]

Code:

[url=https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg][url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3][/url]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3[/url]

Is it a bug, Is it not possible to hide a picture behind a fake link or more probably I'm retarded and do I do something wrong?

Edit I can't even post here the code, the forum automatically change it I post a picture

Let's try...

https://bpip.org/

Edit: Yep. You're right. I'm guessing this is some sort of protection against phishing so that users wouldn't be unknowingly going to the wrong site.

Edit2: It works with other URLs (see above) but not with bitcointalk URLs.

The first one link toward a picture
The second is a link towards a link what will not work. The same for the 3rd bbcode.
It is working correct what i see now.

It might be not working for you mate but better for others who will be safer from phishing attacks. So i think you will be happy to have this protection for forums user because i believe you have a great mind which tried a lot to help forum community in many times.

What are you trying to achieve here?
I think you put a wrong code?

Are you trying to put a link of satoshi's profile and then redirect them to the image?

This must be the correct one.

Yes I've tried for an April fools joke and the forum autocorrect it (as you can see on your post you can't do it)

As suchmoon suggested can be phishing protection but it's strange since I think is a lot more dangerous a phishing link than a picture.

edit, even for link do not work so should be definitively a phishing protection.

OMG, I didn't notice that recently I posted it with the correct line and then it shows the correct Satoshi's profile but right now it changes to the image URL which is weird.

It seems moderator edited it or like you said probably phishing protection.

I tested another post in archival it seems it's not working even other URL.

Why not, just post the image link in your thread?

Or this one below

Code:

[url=https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg]Click Me[/url]

It works fine to me.

It`s easy

Interesting.  Here I'll copy the exact code Xal0lex posted.

ETA: works just fine.

@coinlocket$

In this code you're pointing to two URLs which will create a conflict:

Code:

[url=https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg][url]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3[/url][/url]

[coinlocket$]

It`s easy

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

You used

Code:

[url=https://images.indianexpress.com/2018/03/april-fools-day.jpg] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 [/url]

The only differences seem to be the 2 spaces, is that a bug or I'm also blind ?

Still, don't understand why is not working with my code on bitcointalk links than.
