Hi all,

Why am I not allowed to post a link as a "clicky"? Is it jus due to length of service or because I have been labelled as a head case? :)

Thanks for any advice in advance,
Rae xx

    You should be able to post links, it's all to do with post count and you are way beyond the amount needed.

    I'm a headcase and they let me post links all the time :) (nutters)

    Some URL's are not allowed, like shortened ones from twitter

    What is the URL of the link you are trying to post up?
  • Thank you both Barnabysue & mclarkie for replying.

    I did manage to post the link on the (forgotten exact name of thread sorry) thread about what are you listening to right now, but every time I tried to put a 'clicky' (hope I'm using the right terminology!) it came up with "You do not have permission etc...please refresh page and re log in". I think that all sounds nonsense sorry - what I was trying to do was post a link (it was a you tube song) and mask it (a clicky?) with some words. Nothing offensive just "Deep breaths".

    Thanks again for your help.

    I think it's cos you are a headcase :p And it takes one to know one :D

    So are you talking about the hypertext thingy? The one with a greenish planet icon with what could be a safety pin at the bottom?

    That's what I use to do it, as in:

    They're coming to take me away - ha-ha

    I typed the text, highlighted it, clicked on the world icon, pasted the url, and clicked ok. Is that what you do?

  • :( Grrrr... still not working.

    I've followed the instructions and I keep getting this..

    The following errors occurred with your submission
      1. You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again.

      It then logs me out and I have to re log in. Maybe it's just my taste in music??
