Hi there,
I'm trying to get some help on SFTP, so was trying to reply there when I got the message:

I wasn't posting a URL, so I don't know why this is appearing. Any suggestions?

Bug in new user posting rules
I'm not exactly sure where to post this, sorry if this is the wrong spot:
As a new user, I was unable to post the below line with a '.' after the '0'. However, removing the '.' allowed me to post.
I can only guess that this version number was incorrectly being treated as a URL.
The line was:
I'm using the sftp 1.4.63 plugin and the binaries from curl 7.34.0.

No. This rule if only for TomHale from Australia.TomHale wrote:Did anyone else need to wait a day?
No! Just kidding.
This is a spam preventing system for not to join+post on the go as spammer would do.
(yes, there are other possibilities for them too, but this is just one way to keep this forum a little bit more clean)
If you are a new registered user you have to wait a day and one post before you are able to post URLs.
For that time frame being, just make your URLs un-clickable by using underscores instead of the first dot or adding a space or two:
https://www.google.com/
https :// www .google.com/
