Links don't convert anymore and color function sometimes is broken

From the future
Hi! I've noticed that in all my threads the links aren't converted anymore, see here as an example:

Example.jpg

(Taken from this thread: https://vi-control.net/community/th...rturia-pigments-soundset.102919/#post-5257194)

It's only in the OP, the newer posts seem to function.

If I add color to that broken link above in the editor and then post the change, the link is being displayed correctly again:

Example 2.jpg

However, that's only true for the editor view. As soon as I update the post and hit refresh, the link looks broken again like above, and that's true for all my other threads too.

Regarding the second problem, if I have one colored link in a post (a new post where links do work / stay converted) and try to add more colors to other links / text parts, they won't be applied. Only the first color works, after that everything stays default.

Any chance that's going to get fixed?

Cheers :)

I see, I tested the URL with the forum. Strange that this is happening now if it was working properly before...

Can you check with your site if they updated something lately?

Here is the test result pointing to an error at the source.

I can ask the admin since I know him personally (although he'd need to ask his programmer),
but my links still work at the KVR audio forum and also on a german forum (sequencer.de) which seems to run the same forum software like VI-control, at least the editor looks really similiar.

So based on this, would you still say it's an error with thepatchbay or something on the side of this forum? If you want I go ahead and ask him. :)

Can you please send me links to the exact these posts you mention on KVR and sequencer.de? I have to look further into this. :)

Could you send me the Sequencer.de link to the exact post? It's asking me to login, is it available for guests?

It was the link to the exact post already, it seems one must have an account to view it.. didn't know that.

But despite the sequencer thing showing an error, in the thread it looks all fine, I can show you a screen:

I was given this insight as well...

> It could be that website started blocking request from bots because the addon we use to check links is basically a bot trying to access a website to check if it is online. <

Which is why it could be useful to contact the admins of those websites to see what they say?

Yeah I remember them having dealt with bots,
but why would it only affect vi-control but not other sites?

Anyways, I'll contact him :)
 
Trying something out, also the color thing:

https://tinyurl.com/c63hu99h (Test conversion 2)

Edit: Allright, colors seem to work, the tiny URL seems not to work unfortunately.. so @creativeforge I've asked him, he says it could be that the firewall is shutting it down. He wrote maybe it's because VI-control tries to ping the site, or Vi-control is being recognized as an "automated user agent".

Edit2: He says that if the tinyurl doesn't work as well it shouldn't be an issue with TPB because in this case Vi-control is trying to connect to tinyurl. Is that correct / does that help? Note that he is only the admin not the programmer, so you'll probably know it better, just forwarding his assumptions to you :)
