I just tried YVR-IST-HKG-YVR and it comes with the following "error message"

The stopover you have requested between your departure city and destination city exceeds the maximum allowable distance permitted. Please choose a different stopover city.

It used to be ok before today.
Can anyone confirm too?
Have you tried YVR-HKG-IST-YVR? If that works, it could be that the new "logic" determines that first city is your destination and the second your stopover. In that case it would, in your example, trying to calculate (YVR-IST)+(IST-HKG-YVR) which would be over MPM5, as opposed to the correct (YVR-IST-HKG)+(HKG-YVR) which would be within MPM5.
