There isn't really anything we can do unfortunately.

It seems like Fiverr block what they may detect isn't access from a normal browser but without actually giving us an error code. If they returned an error code we wouldn't attempt to unfurl the URL and we'd just display the link.

Hopefully they'll change their approach at some point.

@beerForo -- I know XF would never support this, but, you could probably get custom development done (unsure how unfurling works with the code, whether it's a PHP command or a system command like CURL) that sends fake headers to get through any website and even accepts cookies.

Thanks but fiverr unfurls are the least of my worries.

i have this problem with amazon.in and bloomberg.com links. they send a page with captcha instead of actual content. it is a minor annoyance.
