Related web page on Edit Cache Listing page

I've been trying to add a related web page link to one of my existing caches. Last week when I tried it was not posting the link after submitting the change; figuring it could be a one time site-f@rt, I waited a week and tried again. Still no go. The cache listing is GC1J8VV. Never had a problem doing this before. Hitting all the accept checkboxes as normal and the URL is a good one; copies and pastes in the web browser and gets me there just fine. Any ideas? Kinda strange. TIA. –Tony

I added that trailing / for &&tz and giggles just to see if that was the problem. Nope. Tried without. Nope.

 

Tried

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigenère_cipher

 

and the edit page kicked back the "not a valid URI" error.

 

After some experimenting it seems that it will accept the wikipedia link, even though it does not have the www prefix (it is prefixed solely as the subdomain type en), but will not display it.

 

I added the www to the beginning of the link -

 

http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigenère_cipher

 

Which works in a web browser via a server redirect at Wikipedia, but the link still does not show.

 

I'm going to try a tinyurl redirect now. Bug! :unsure:

Hello, I have the same problem with a link that disapeared when I submit my listing. I tried to put a link to a video in my HTML long description :

<object height="285" width="329">

<param name="movie" value="http://www.zapiks.fr/share/zapiks.swf?file=1657〈=fr" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<embed src="http://www.zapiks.fr/share/zapiks.swf?file=1657〈=fr" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="285" width="329">

It worked fine when I test it with a html file, but it disapeared from the geocaching listing when I submit it...

 

any idea ?

 

Many thanks if someone could help me !
