For me (and endolith and Kevin) it wasn't broken. It worked fine for us simple writers without the invalidator lurking, ready to strike at any moment. :) | |

@Plan9FOS Basically, it's to prevent broken links. The http:// makes it try to translate it into a link. There's a blanket ban on IP addresses, apparently. Here's a couple of related questions on Meta StackOverflow: Your post contains a link to the invalid host '192.168.1.1' The link validator is overzealous and should allow posting so-called 'invalid' links Are any IP address links valid in posts?

| Aug 14, 2012 at 11:21 | comment | added | user104237 | OK, thanks to both of you. I highlighted the http one and selected the braces thing to get the backticks (I've never heard it called that). It saved the edit after that. So, it was only the http+IP reference that it didn't like. The error message only referred to the IP which made it seem that it wasn't going to take any IPs. | |

| Aug 14, 2012 at 11:05 | comment | added | user104237 | Actually, I copied and pasted the whole "error" message so I had no idea how it got the gray background. Is the backtick the left single quote thing? | |
