Really big numbers appear as links on the app
The proper way to type big numbers is with spaces:
2 000 000 000
Fight me
I’m not really sure there is a satisfying answer here other than making a setting for it. If I disable this feature outright then ip addresses will not show up as links. If I enable it then you get the issue you see. In either case I would assume that this is a pretty rare case. I’ll add it to the road map.
But why would anyone share an IP address that must be clickable?
I’m not sure if you know this but a lot of websites are accessible by their IP address. As an example 1.1.1.1. It’s definitely a niche use case but it sometimes happens because sometimes a website doesn’t have a domain name or in cases where there are DNS issues. Another use case is linking to a local host. Eg. 192.168.1.1 which is commonly used for a router or 127.0.0.1 which is called a loopback IP.
Yeah but in that case, if someone wants to share an IP address, why not use the markdown link method?
Fair enough
Also, ip address dont lool like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx most of the time, they look like x.x.x.x or xxx.xxx.x.x :))
Anything from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 is a valid IP address. Of course some IPs are more common than others based on the context. Certain ranges are used for certain things.
Sounds like a design oversight in the app. Probably worth reporting it as a bug.
In parts of the world, long numbers are separated using commas. In other parts, they use periods. You clearly use periods.
The app probably auto converts long period-segmented character strings into urls for user convenience. However, that interferes with users like you who post numbers.
It’s being interpreted as an IP address. It shouldn’t do that if you use commas instead.
