Fred the link thing

[Troll]

Fred I know we don't have links to other sites, but when I just tried to post a thread with a link already in it said I can't post live links. the link was already live as you had posted it and it was a link to another thread. but i can't post a link to another thread on the forum.

Hello Troll, yes I know it's annoying. I've been trying to find a way of allowing internal links, but have not yet come up with a way of making it work without also allowing outside links.

I'm still working on it to come up with a solution. But for the moment all I can suggest is, If anyone posts an internal link, either their own or in a quoted post, let me know and I will change it to a live link for them.

It did used to work before, but that was because I allowed members with over 10 posts to post links. However I had to go through all posts each day to check if links had been posted to outside sites by those members, so I removed it for everyone to save me time.

So if members can bear with me till I can figure a way of allowing internal links, and just send me a pm if they post one and I will change it.

Fred.

Thanks Fred I would rather put up with a little inconvenience than go through all those crappy links we used to get on the old forum.

I have sent you a PM to make the link in my first post work.

Done.

Oh that was painless

UPDATE: I'm sorry Troll and others but I can't find a way of allowing internal links and still disallow external ones.

So the only suggestion I have is if you do post an internal link, let me know and I will change it for you. If I spot any whilst reading I will change them, but letting me know you have posted one would help.

Let me know via PM or better still use the Report button in the relevant post and that will point me straight there.

Thanks.

I'll lock this thread as I've found a solution: Internal linking
