    The workaround is a real pain, but works consistently for me:

    1. edit your comment,
    2. unlink every link,
    3. save your unlinked comment,
    4. edit your comment,
    5. re-link all the former links, and
    6. save your comment.

     

    Last time I looked, I could not the original report of this bug from around the launch of the new Community. Sadly, this penalises folks who put the effort into properly linking resources in their posts.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who's getting this error.

    I (somewhat) followed your steps and it seemed to work. Although I'm not sure if I did 100% right as I couldn't "edit" it as it had not been posted and I don't see a "save" function. But removing the links and relinking them allowed me to post the comment.

    Thanks, AJCxZ0​!
