[Steve Kirkham]

This thread is about a reported problem about parenthesis in file names causing problems with posting software.

just posting a link to a pic
link to a picture

seems ok in preview. I'll hit submit and see what happens.

I've tried both IE6.0 and Firefox1.0 on XP Pro SP2. No problem. I'd appreciate any more data possible.

Steve, if you look at the original thread where I posted the link, take a look at my actual post. You can see how only part of my link was hyperlinked, and it stopped at the parenthases.

I posted that pic as an inserted image first. No good. It didn't take the link. The I posted it as the copied URL, and as you can see, it wouldn't take that either.

If I posted the URL for that pic into a browser, it worked. I just didn't work when put into the forum software.

Steve... a couple of things.

First, we have a Testing Area Forum, that will let you experiment without having new threads show up on the Home Page...

Next, I think you see the images because they may be in your cache.

The problem is that the forum software cannot resolve a linked image if the URL has paren's in it.

Steve,

I am not quite sure what you are trying to find out, but you can use the test area to do your testing and try anything you want. Could you post an example of what you mean?
