I've not tested this with any other links yet but when I tried to link my blog it add a -.

I'm very familiar with phpBB 3.xx as I have and currently am an Administrator on various websites that use it (cause it's free) but this is a new issue I am unfamiliar with.

As you can see between - and the . COM (Still messing up if I don't make it like this.) it is adding a .- or perhaps it's a -. ?

Anyway... point being is that it should read as - . com and not -.-.com

Seems like an issue at your end, as i can very easily post your link....

That said, that link doesn't work regardless... it seems...

I've linked to that blog post before though...

EDIT:

Well actually I used: http://goo.gl/7ijed

Maybe I'd noticed this before?

I figured it out, the forum uses an anti-spam countermeasure to block you linking to "-"...<see how its blocked when i try to post.... "b-logspot"

I have never once ran into this issue and I manage 3 other forums. -_-

EDIT: Thanks for helping solve that aspect of the issue.
