Activity Title / My activity names have changed

They have currently a heap of bugs and one of them is not to display URLs. It seems they regard your 2.2k as an URL. The complete titles are still there but only partly displayed, even in the edit activity screen.

Similar issue but in the description field. I put my 7-day rolling total on each activity - just today (this worked last night for an activity I uploaded) the distance metric is missing. Meters gained is however still present!

My activity titles that include a period are not rendering at all, they come in as None on a dashboard page. If you go to the activity itself on desktop, it shows, but if you edit, is shows its value as '' (None).

e.g. - Lyon.r16 or Lyon.045 <- these with the period have the issue. It is a newer issue as of the last couple days or maybe your last deployment @strava64 

Hello there...

Yesterday the Strava removed from almost all (?) my recent running activities the prefix I had to categorize them. I was naming them as MT.xx - RunName were MT stands for Marathon Training the .xx stand for the activity (aka number .45) and then the RunName what was the activity - Long Run. Been using this format for months now and yesterday it removed the MT.xx before the - mark and I cannot add it again or change it with MT.xx:

The fun fact is that they still remaine searchable with the MT. as the search option...

Thanks a lot...

On PC at the Strava web:

I see whole text right of my activity "Swim 3.4km on Lake" .

But in the lists of activities I see: "Swim  on the Lake" so it's wrong.

In mobile android app Strava i see wrong both, list of activities and equal on the exact activity text without '3.4km'  😞

It's bug. If I edit "3.4km" string to "3.4 km" by giving space then it's visible. Or if I edit string by replacing dot to coma, is visible too: "3,4km".

It looks that strava has bug with displaying any of special formats of text. F.e. number with point "X.Y" piped with "km" string. It's insane.

It's because the appearing of dots leads to misinterpretating normal texts as URL, they are investigating this bug: https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/campfire-chat/investigating-unable-to-add-links-urls-to-posts-urls-stripped/td-p/42231

The real titles are still there (so no mass change has happend), but currently they aren't displayed.

I am seeing this in the description field as well. 

I am seeing this in the description field as well. Tested on iOS mobile app.

This is WILDLY poor development practice. Cant even handle basic regex to identify actual working URL??

At first I thought it was a mistake. Someone puts a domain suffix inadvertently and creates a “URL” like seattlerides.cc to indicate it was a cycling club ride. Ok. .cc is a domain suffix, I get it.

But removing distances that contain a “.”? 26.2 isn’t a URL.

It’s like they let a freshman computer science intern implement this regex. “Any time a dot appears without a space on both sides, kill it. It MUST be a suspicious link!” Is truly insane.

They could get more nuanced and only look for valid suffixes, and/or take it even further and only ban links to truly suspicious sites or domains.

If all links are banned from Strava forever I am moving everything to ridewithGPS, forever.

This is insanity.

I also have the similar issue...I don't have any URL in my post but just the number of the run in title...which has been removed from most of the post...Do we have any solution for this please ? updating the record of all runs manually will be vary challenging!!

ThanX a lot for your response. 🙏

Discovered Strava can't handle decimal points in ride titles and descriptions! It strips out the full number. Hence, the spacing in "22 . 9K feet". If I didn't add the spacing, it would read "Previous highest for any year was feet" and is missing the number before "feet". Can also use an underscore or low line like 22_9K. Definitely happens on mobile and the My Activities screen. Seems to be okay in PC browser but sometimes reverts to missing the number too.
