Why Cant I Post Links From My Phone?

[Carl in Michigan]

I'm just curious if anyone else had this problem. For awhile I haven't been able to directly post links or youtube videos from my phone, which I use almost exclusively. Right now, I paste the url in a notepad type app, then remove the "http://" then manually type it back in.

That's the only way I can add links here with my phone.

Anyone else have this problem?

BTW, I love how so many Biden voters are triggered by an avatar of the Democrat Jackass mascot with a swastika. I feel so bad that mandate loving Biden/Trudeau lovers are so upset by someone pointing out their shared love for large, oppressive government trampling the GOD-GIVEN rights of the individual

Yeah, me too. Picture links never work for me anymore.

Haven't tried that in awhile. I've been saving the images to my phone and posting them as attachments.

Also haven't tried posting links from my laptop since this started. I'll see if I can do that with my laptop soon

I have had trouble the last few weeks.
Previously I only had to copy link directly.
Now I have to click share, then I can copy the link and post it.

Don't get why though.

Interesting. . . what operating system does this occur on?

You don't suppose it has to do with the corporations working with governments, or spooks trying to throttle the sharing of information. . . .

It seems suspect that this bug in the matrix, just now started occurring, now, that a war broke out.


Given the timing of this bug? I am going out on a limb here. . . and I am going to guess it was in a link or a web page that you folks have shared or clicked on.

Mal-ware of some sort. If you have a image capture of how your system WAS working, say, two months ago, go back to that, or, alternatively, use a program to clean things out?

Ukraine invasion: How the war is being waged online​

Ukraine invasion: How the war is being waged online

From cyber-attacks to internet disruption and the response of big tech, how is the digital war going?

www.bbc.com

". . . This "wiper" malware - "intended to be destructive and designed to render targeted devices inoperable" - had been found in dozens of Ukrainian systems across the government, non-profit and information technology sectors, Microsoft said.

And the Reuters news agency reported Ukrainian officials had alleged a Belarusian cyber-spying operation was targeting personal email accounts belonging to Kyiv's forces.
In the UK, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng will reportedly hold talks with Paula Rosput Reynolds, who chairs the National Grid, amid fears of a wave of state-sponsored Russian attacks.. . "


People that share TRUE and accurate information about the war, are a threat to both sides. Increasing the fog of war, is something that is an operational necessity, so this type of mal-ware should come as a surprise to no one, really.

The Disinformation War: The falsehoods about the Ukraine invasion and how to stop them spreading​

Ukraine disinformation is spreading. Here’s what you can do to stop it

Disinformation has always been a feature of war. But in an age of unverifiable information being shared on social media, it can be hard to combat. #TheCube

www.euronews.com

". . . As the pretext of the invasion, pro-Russian online disinformation campaigners flooded the Internet with images and videos depicting Ukraine as aggressors.

This tactic has continued as Russia launched its full-blown military invasion, attacking Ukrainian cities and military sites by air, land and sea. Their efforts have been promptly dismantled by experts and fact-checkers; however, the sheer volume of disinformation in media reporting and social media means it is still a pressing problem.

So how is this disinformation campaign being carried out and what can you do to make sure you are not sharing false information?"

How? By putting mal-ware on folks computers to slow the spread of information sharing?

Not sure if this will help. I save links to my clipboard and then add them from there.

Sorry. That's all I got.

I actually posted this thread wondering if it was a glitch in the forum software. Still have no idea

Yeah, me too. Picture links never work for me anymore.

picture links need to use the "insert image" tool. When the window pops open, choose the "link" symbol (looks like a paperclip) before you can paste in the URL. Works fine for me.

YouTube and Rumble and a few others are handled without a tool to insert them into the editor. Just drop the RAW Utube URL + code into a new line in your post.

Looks like this ---

----https://youtu.be/4DIBYFZ-g3U---- without the dashes.

 

[flacaltenn]

Don't get why though.

All ya have to do is right click on the video and choose "copy video URL". And paste that directly into the USMB editor.
