I'm trying to link to the above article using the url tag however I get the following error message, any ideas why I can link to other articles just not that one.

Sorry, we do not permit the following HTML tag or attribute: Parenthesis in HTML tag

» Please use your browser's back button to return, unless you got this because of flood control, in which case, the back button will just try to screw with you. Sorry about that.

The UBB software doesn't like the % signs in the URL. The only solution I know is to use tinyurl to create an address without the characters that UBB doesn't like (it's not just the %, other characters can create the same fault).

Thanks, the message confused me because it talked about parenthesis and I couldn't see any.

Ah, 28 and 29 are the hex values for the ( and ) in ASCII. Which is where the parantheses came in.

Find any post by babybear, and there'll be a "send PM" icon above it (it looks like two people holding hands next to an envelope). Or, search the directory for babybear and there'll be a "send pm" link with her profile information.
