I'm surprised it works at all. The img code, for example, won't allow the colon character in a URL. And while many applications are sloppy with encoding special characters, the colon is officially unsafe. You can work around this by properly replacing the colon with %3A. That's not a good user experience though. Probably an old bug.

Taking another look at this tonight.

We have "Disable Smilies" as another workaround.

Some of the changes since 1.9.11 to accommodate square braces will help make this easier to fix. I'm not sure yet if it's a small fix or something that will wait for later.

First time I've come across it, but thought it should be mentioned in case it becomes more prevalent.

I don't see anything broken by the new patch.

Just have to decide whether or not to tackle one more bug before releasing 1.9.12...

Whatever that's supposed to be, we don't support it unless it's inside a url tag.

Facebook images out of the question [due to their timestamp at the end of the image type]?

Facebook link:
[img]https://scontent.fsyd4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p526x296/121123287_3671821399495581_8838941427616089861_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=730e14& _nc_ohc=CsumgbFlwQwAX83LwCS&_nc_ht=scontent.fsyd4-1.fna&tp=6&oh=001a8d63f18789389038dd2c88ac79c5&oe=5FB0EB74[/img]

Facebook link less timestamp, removed portion after .jpg but informs me as
[bad img]

hmmm, perhaps Insta's won't work after the 24th of this month: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed.

BBcode for Facebook and Instagram, or members just download the image and upload is the alternative.

What you have there is simply a bad link. I can't even open it in my browser. It might be some form of hotlink protection on their CDN?
