Long URLs in posts
 

I'm having problems putting long urls in posts. I'm not sure if it's the site that i'm linking to, or google search in my browser.

[url=http://www.tamworthherald.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=159453&command=displayConte nt&sourceNode=159436&contentPK=14490578&moduleName =InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch]url[/url]

http://www.tamworthherald.co.uk/disp...=sidebarsearch

url
no matter which way I put it on here, naked address, or in code it doesn't work, has anybody got any idea why?

Re: Long URLs in posts
 

one thing I can't get round is putting a "look here" tab on http tabs I post

Re: Long URLs in posts
 

No it cuts of half way through, and when you put it in code [url=http://theaddress]Lookhere[/url] it changes some of the numbers to a space '&20'

Remove the "noparse" tags in your post and it should work.

Re: Long URLs in posts
 

I know it's got noparse, i did that to show you how i was putting it.
It doesn't work, yes it takes you to the tamworth herald site but it should be to a serious alley attacks story.

right

go here
http://www.tamworthherald.co.uk

go to the search this site box at the bottom of the left menu and paste this

A Police hunt has been launched following a spate of attacks in Atherstone which are believed to be linked

that should take you to the alley story. then get a link on this site to take you back to that story, because I can't on here or proboards. It seems to add %20 in to the url twice.

infact theres 3 and if you look in your php code box len you've got them in there. why are they getting in there?

Re: Long URLs in posts
 

when you've copied the link from the site,are you clicking and using the "insert Link" icon above the message box? I did and it seems ok.

Re: Long URLs in posts
 

perhaps you should'nt post the copied link directly into your post, use the "insert link" icon.
