On some of my posts, such as http://priuschat.com/index.php?act=ST&...=36343&st=0, the links I pasted in using the editor, show up as the url rather than a link to the highlighted word. Other times, the link facility works. What is going on?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Doc Willie @ Jul 23 2007, 07:37 PM) [snapback]483822[/snapback]</div> . . . Speculation: The URL in question has a space in the name. Maybe the Editor does not like this. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Doc Willie @ Aug 3 2007, 06:56 PM) [snapback]490198[/snapback]</div> That was it! Replacing the space with an underscore made the link behave properly. Thanks for leaving me to learn this on my own.
In general, try to simplify in-site post links down as short as possible. Take out the session IDs and extra trash, definitely don't have spaces or substitute %20, and you can always go re-edit a message and check for the URL tags. Generally, a reference to /index.html?showtopic=NNNNN&st=offset will be able to zero right in on a particular post, and still show the thread surrounding it. You can either just type it in and it will show up as a link as is, or hide it behind other word. . _H*
