In another thread, I put in a link and got this when it was posted:

http://www.lastritesproductions.org/dvd.html

Did I do something wrong?

Not that I saw.  For some reason, the link screws up when the s in 'productions' is included.  I put a code tag around it for easy copying and pasting.


But yeah, Graham?  Do we have an aversion to having plurals in a link or something?

<Blomman> not that i'm against that kind of thing, but isn't that like, uh, illegal in some states?

It's some sort of bug in the forum software when it attemps to autogenerate a link based on a url. I've never found a patch for it. To fix it you need to enclose it in a url tag, like so:

Code:
[url=http://www.lastriteproductions.org/]LastRiteProductions[/url]

The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).

Yeah, I figured that was the problem at first, but then when I tried it I get this

Link


Still garbled.  Yours didn't get garbled because you forgot the s from 'rites'.

This is probably a side-effect of the SMF feature which breaks too long words with the "span" separator.
Graham, this option is somewhere in the adminpanel, Posts and Topics, Post Options, "Break Words Longer Than" (I have to translate the names back from Russian, so I could call some of them wrong). Try increasing that value or turning it to zero (i.e., no limitation). Its internal name is "fixLongWords".

Ah-hah... I'll have to see if I can patch it to ignore urls.
