I use the correct formating for both image and links, but the BBCode appears not to be active even though it says it is ON. And I am linking to valid servers which should provide img access.

Everytime I try to email the admin at "forumadmin AT fender DOT com" (the default addy which always pops up), I just get an error msg with:

"not of the form user@host" (in other words, obviously not a valid email address)

What gives?

Images have to be on an active website (photbucket is free and easy) and for links I just use www dot name dot com such as www.fender.com

For images the code would like like this:

[img]http:%20//img.%20photobucket.%20com/albums%20/v109/CAFeathers%20/DSC00204.jpg[/img]

without the spaces.

The problem was a space. BBCode can't deal with a space in a filename, it just doesn't work. So I just removed the space in the filename.

Anybody know why admins can't be emailed to? (see above)

Aah OK.

I'll see what kind of response I get by sending an email there.

I think I see the email problem. What would pop up in my email addy for "To" would be:

forumadmin AT fender DOT com

...which obviously doesn't work. You have to MANUALLY convert it to:

forumadmin@fender.com

I use Mozilla (Firefox/Thunderbird), it's probably just a Mozilla compatibility bug. NBD to convert manually every time.

Right -- that's to avoid having that address picked up by spammers (which I know full well it's going to anyway, but at least this will somewhat deter the effect :D ).

Aha, thanks Brad!

One more thing, I have to hit "Submit" from 1-40 times to get the post or edited post to actually submit. It usually goes to "Preview" many times on the "Submit" selection before finally submitting properly. Occasionally it will work the first time, but usually it requires multiple selections of "Submit" all of which simply go to "Preview" before taking properly. Is this something you've heard about from other posters?

As a note on that one. Mine works first time every time.

Interesting. I'm Firefox running an anonymizer. Wonder if that could cause an intermittent command problem. In fact, I'm having to click "Submit" many times just to get this post Submitted. Keeps going to "Preview" over and over.

Thanks, must be something in my firewall or anonymizer then.
