[QUOTE="topsemag55"]Thanks for clearing that up, I wondered why they took so long with little results. Now I understand why Bonk keeps coming back, because they aren't here to fix it. The next time they show up, whomever is the boss at GS should tell them to stay on-site for about a month. Even better, GameSpot should have its own dedicated site engineer. At least that way we can be assured that the problems with the site are actively being looked at rather than how it is at the moment - so many problems have been reported but fixes don't seem to be coming at all.
I've been doing a bit of experimenting since I realised that someone I quoted was able to use HTML a tags without triggering this error. I've found that the filter will accept this:
The p tags are necessary or the filter will give you the HTML not well-formed error. You must also leave the quotation marks out of the href attribute.
What I've been doing is stuff like this: Google. (You should be able to quote that to see it.) I don't know about it being a lost cause, but it does leave one wondering.

That doesn't work for me. :(. I had to change your link to BBCode to get it to quote right for me.
[QUOTE="gmax"]What I've been doing is stuff like this: Google. (You should be able to quote that to see it.) I don't know about it being a lost cause, but it does leave one wondering. I read your post on the first page again. It seems that your suspicions about the filter picking up on the "a href" string may be right, as this works too: Google
Looks like you're using the wysiwyg editor - I have no idea what effect that could have. I did, however, have some trouble trying to quote my own message just now to double check it - I kept getting a page that did not have a visible textarea on it. Third or fourth time it worked though. I got the same no-textarea issue the first time I tried to quote your message too. I have no idea what that's all about either.

I also noticed the name attribute could disrupt the transformation in my tests back then. I mentioned the target attribute because I generally need it anyway, so all I had to do was fight my habit of putting the href first. As far as I can tell it's still not possible to just put in an "a href" and have it succeed or even a "properly" coded rel="nofollow".
How is this not fixed yet? Link functionality worked without issue for over a decade, yet it's been broken for months, now.
This is a very, very annoying issue, and is one of the reasons I have not been posting blog entries (and I use to post a lot). Please fix it.

I very much agree. On any other website it would be crazy having not been fixed since August. On GameSpot, I just am kind of resigned to it at this point.
Hey guys, I wanted to jump in here as I have been getting the
Errors:
- Tagamay not have attributerel
- If you are copying from a word processing software, try pasting the text into a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad) first.
- If problems persist, try disabling the WYSIWYG editor in your preferences.
message for a long while now and no matter what I do I cannot get around it. I've tried disabling the WYSIWYG in my Preferences, nothing. Keeping it on, nothing. Typing in the code also gets me the same error.

Turn off the editor and apply changes. What I do is open this thread and copy the BBCode in the 3rd post of this thread - works every time.
[QUOTE="gmax"]What I've been doing is stuff like this: Google. (You should be able to quote that to see it.) I don't know about it being a lost cause, but it does leave one wondering. That's how I do it too, if I use html coding.

That's a good question I had not asked myself - I think it's the absence of quotes around the href value and surrounding the anchor (a) pair with other markup. Doesn't make much sense to me, but it does seem to do something at the moment.

I was using that code since the linking began acting up, and just copying and editing the code from my signature (going through my settings). I don't know how, but the code somehow changed back to the unedited version that was returning errors, and I thought that neither one worked. Good to know now that the rearranged version still works; not sure how it occurred that the coding of my sig changed. :|
Posting on this forum can be one of the most annoying things in the world... This problem was identified last year and it's still not fixed? -_- it happens to me all the time, along with a lot of other stupid ass errors.

Same. Quite the joke, I do say! :lol: I also love the one that says (Not word for word but close)HTML error no valid code found. Please try turning off the post editor. When I'm not using the editor OR any code other than the color code. Can we say fail? :lol: Some of the stuff is so stupid its laughable.

Same. Quite the joke, I do say! :lol: Come on now, patience is key mates. :]Look, we get it, you're a ranger and you're trying to be helpful but when you have a site filled with glitches like this, patience isnt really an easy thing.
