Your link could not be added because it is not accessible: Could not connect.
I have one specific user who no matter what he does when he attempts to submit a website he gets the error message that is the subject of this thread. Can anyone help shed any light as to why one specific user would get this regardless of the site submitted? I have checked with community and he is enabled to submit links
He has tried to create another account and is getting the same result. Suggestion? Other people have submitted sites perfectly fine.

What URL is he submitting? That error should only come up if the server couldn't do a head() on the URL (to make sure it exists)

You can disable that feature though:

Setup > User Options

This option controls whether or not to check that links submitted by users contain valid URLs.
user_link_validation No
