I am now trying to add a link to the description to https://www.zotero.org/groups/4625246/skrivbib/library and it is not allowing me to do this. Are the changes being flagged for spam?

fcheslack

They were. You should see them now.

annesabo

Hm, for some reason I still cannot add the link.

fcheslack

Are you getting an error, or is it just not saving?
This is in addition to the link already included in the description?

fcheslack

Actually it seems likely that you're hitting the length limit if you're adding more to the current description, but you should be getting an error if you are.

annesabo

It looks like adding the links increases the length limit and therefore will not save, even if they are no longer flagged as spam.

annesabo

It doesn't quite make sense though because the links show in this library: https://www.zotero.org/groups/4619508/sakbib/ which is 850 characters.

But not where I am trying to add links now: https://www.zotero.org/groups/4625246/skrivbib
which has 928 characters.

Why doesn't it make sense that the shorter description would be able to fit the extra links?

Note that the limit includes the html tags from the links and any other markup.

annesabo

Got it. Shortening the description now allowed room for the links to show. Thanks!

Have also tried to add a link to my description here: https://www.zotero.org/annesabo
Not showing, flagged as spam?

No need for a new thread. Someone will have to review your profile.

fcheslack

You should be able to add it now. We were actually filtering all links from the profile bios despite having it enabled on the editor.

Perfect, thanks!
