"Not a valid IP address pattern"

PMAPAC · Nov 23, 2010

"Not a valid IP address pattern" has appeared every time for several months, whenever I suggest a site for submission.

What does this mean, please?

I have tried submitting from several different locations and get the same response, to what otherwise seems to be a compliant to to the rules submission. And the site I am trying to submit is a normal www . com address.

I have tried the search function in this section for this, btw, but nothing came up.
Thank you.

I've just suggested it to Regional/Asia/Singapore/Business_and_Economy/Agriculture using the public interface without any problem (except for fighting the CAPTCHA of course

).

Oh, that's great! Thank you very much, Jim.
Fantastic.

Fantastic.

Just to be clear, I haven't listed it; I merely did what you should have been able to do. Some other editor will evaluate it in due course

Yes I understand. I'm just chuffed to receive help, and to have it in the list for evaluation!

I am also getting the "Not a valid IP address pattern in ip" error... Is there anything you can suggest that may help?

aldops · Mar 12, 2011

Im also getting this same error, any advice?

jimnoble · Mar 12, 2011

@Author1ty and aldops:

Your IP addresses don't match the address ranges that have a problem. What's more, by a truly amazing coincidence, you are both using the same one :lol: .
