Links not working on comments

[jasonleekennedy]

I attempted to link to a youtube video that had some good advice for an issue noted by the original poster, but if I put the link in in a way that the site detects the link, it get 'eaten'.

Post here ->

I ended up removing the https:// from the link and it worked.
Issue happens even when doing 'preview'.

i was looking through my old posts to see if I wrote anything worth reading before the next LD and found that the youtube link here was also gone:
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/spatium-calorem/post-mortem-spatium-calorem.

I tested using a link to something that wasn't youtube (http://12games12weeks.blogspot.com) and it worked fine.

notice someone else's post with the same issue, they stated they could see it... appears to be an issue with ABP and the embed.

• Firefox with uBlock Origin - they show up
• Chrome with Ad-block Plus - they don't show up
• Chrome with ABP turned off - they show up.

There are too many different pieces of embed code in various places of the repo, but from what I can tell it might be

https://github.com/ludumdare/ludumdare/blob/master/src/com/autoembed/smartdomains.js

That the ? conflicts with another embed code that splits links at ? to strip away arguments.

Closing this. User was missing the "https:" in the link, which would have triggered embedding.
