Yes, gallanted.com is one of them. There are many others like it.
If you submit the URL directly, it parses. But when the URL is contained
in a submission, the parser actually sorts out the URL but then skips it
with no message. This has been reported on many times before.
If you refresh the browser on that page enough times, and you are lucky,
it may eventually parse properly. Sometimes it never parses properly.
But this is like smacking a TV set to get it to work properly. It's very
unscientific and doesn't always work. It's better to actually fix the TV
set, or in this case, the parser engine. It's probably not considered a
"show stopper" and therefore gets low priority, if any.
