I understand why you don’t want people posting links to the forums generally, but why not allow links to whitelisted URLs, like the anki domains? It makes it really hard to report problems without a link to the pertinent page. ---

Context: frames’ Trust Level is “new user”. ---

It looks like Discourse does support this. I’ve added [ankiweb.net](http://ankiweb.net). ---

I’d suggest adding all the subdomains too as my links are still being blocked. I also got a warning about “new users can only add two links to the posts” - I had three and all were legit. I’d suggest increasing that too. ---

Dang, I was hoping it would allow subdomains automatically. I’ve added the manual and FAQs. ---

Can Drive links be allowed? It will help people who want to share their files. ---

It’s possible, but not everyone uses Google, and it would mean that spammers could post links to malware without any forum reputation. ---

Overall, it’s rare that a newcomer needs to share their actual deck or another file to get help. Most issues can be solved based on codeblock text or screenshots, even if a few experiments need to be done. In the few cases where an actual file could be useful – it’s a waste of time unless someone is volunteering to help hands-on with that user’s data. Whoever wants to volunteer can let the newcomer know the best way to get the file directly to them. ---

GitHub is already on the whitelist, though that too could potentially be abused by hosting malware on the releases page. As far as I’m aware, the whitelist is for domains, not specific URLs.
