The URL tag has limitations than can trick You!

Like so: [ url ] www.pds.homeworldaccess.net [ /url ] which results in: www.pds.homeworldaccess.net All OK. BUT, if the starting [ url ] tag is on the line above the address, like this: [ url ] www.pds.homeworldaccess.net[ /url ] it still looks like an URL but the link does NOT work. Example: [url] www.pds.homeworldaccess.net[/url] Looks ok, but does not work. Same for URL tags on entirely different line: [ url ] www.pds.homeworldaccess.net [ /url ] Example: [url] www.pds.homeworldaccess.net [/url] and if the finishing tag is on a different line: [ url ]www.pds.homeworldaccess.net [ /url ] Please take this into account when posting longer links that may accidentally add a linebreak. STARTING AND FINISHING URL TAGS ON SAME LINE! Issue has been reported to CMS developer, and answer is expected. Edited by Homdax on 17-09-2005 14:29

Maybe there is a limit but I have no 3 meter url to test with... Regarding gallery urls, if You mean those, Unkn0wn, I refer to my post here: http://www.pds.homeworldaccess.net/fo...read_id=82 The thing is that gallery should have a "short url" feature, but it seems it is only valid under those mentioned circumstances; when looking at picture outside gallery layout after clicking the link below every picture "Download Photo".
