Strava not liking full stops.

A bit of a bizarre one. When adding a manual treadmill run I put the title as follows "60 mins @ 17.0kph." When saving the run it will only show "60 mins @".  If I keep editing the run to add the speed back in it won't show when saved. However if I edit it to show "60 mins @ 17.0kph" (note without the full stop at the end) then it will save fine. The same happens whatever the speed entered, it seems like Strava doesn't like full stops!

Obviously it doesn't bother me, just a peculiarity with the software that seems a little strange!

That’s unfortunately one of the side effects of Strava blocking links… it's being discussed here, unfortunately Strava just keeps radio silence:

Interesting, although it thinks a link is being posted when obviously its no such thing and just an end of sentence.

It's because someone thought it was a brilliant idea to block anything containing full stop followed by characters without a space - as it was probably the easiest (and laziest) way to define anything that looks like “.com” 🙄 (Sorry for being sarcastic - it's a major fiasco and Strava seems to act as if it never happened.)
