eBay "Pardon our interruption" Link

[Miki]

I saw that when I posted, I doubt it isn't by accident, more by design

Yes, but, whose design ???

Does eveyone see the above eBay link as "Pardon our Interruption' ?
@csl

It's eBay I think. It thinks SD is a 'bot'.

XF 2.2 - Pardon our Interruption - eBay

Is anyone else getting this message when trying to post eBay links to their forums? Pardon our Interruption A user reported it yesterday on our forums, I tried to post a link today and got the same. The link itself seems to work but the 'title' of the link becomes 'Pardon our Interruption'...

eBay thinks SD is a 'bot' because of the rate of things put on our site.

It's a bit of a bodge, but I have found if you edit it after it has been added and set unfurl to 'false' it won't use that horrid title...

[URL unfurl="false"]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196812778222[/URL]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196812778222

Or

[URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196812778222']eBay Link[/URL]

eBay Link

Annoyingly there’s no way to display it automatically at the moment, unless you change all the links on the site to unfurl=false which isn’t on either.

Ok, eBay have made themselves very unpopular because they have basically said it thinks your web server is a ‘bot’, deal with it.

So we’ve installed an ‘add-on’ which pastes the eBay link as a raw URL and doesn't use the eBay title ‘Pardon our interruption’.
