Help with link in review

[Gao Li]

Hi,

I write a lot of game reviews on Steam and normally link them both to my Steam curation and my gaming blog, since Steam has a character limit. Sadly, with my latest review, the link to my blog always gets removed.

The review in question is https://steamcommunity.com/id/Gao-Li/recommended/46500/

Does anyone know what causes the error?

I guess as you said, its past the character limit so chop out unneeded parts.

Sorry, that didn't help, unfortunately. The original review I posted had 3995 characters. When I noticed that the link was not there, I edited it, so then I had 4003 characters, but I edited again just now to go back to 3995 characters, including the Steam formatting stuff.

I don't know what's going on.

Because it removed the link.

What was the link?

I can try to post it here on the hopes that it won't get removed https://gaolioccasionallyreviews.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/syberia/

I tried posting it in direct messages in Steam and my friends and I can see the link there just fine, just not in the review.

Did you make sure that there was spaces between any text and the link itself?

Try to edit the review and copy/paste the entire paragraph here.

Hang on, I'm not good with html, I am trying to post it in a way that the code won't immediately turn into links.

Works fine here.

I honestly don't understand the problem, tbh. I mean, if it works here and works in chat, and all my other reviews have a link, then why doesn't it work on that review? Even if I edit it, it just says "Link removed"

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Use this...

[url= https://gaolioccasionallyreviews.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/syberia/] Gao Li Occasionally Reviews[/url]

Notice the 1 space after the = sign?

That worked, thank you, so now you can see the link, but the problem isn't fixed, somehow

I am, from time to time. But seriously, I don't see a Link Removed. I didn't fix anything, nor did anyone remove something from the blacklist that could have triggered this.

There's a few other possibilities, namely a server issue or a cooldown OP might have received but the timing seems off. So I'm guessing he/she did something to fix it.

That's wild. It even parses with spaces in the quote in post #7 when it did not in post #6.
