BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / URL Tag

**Posted by Wholocked** July 31, 2013 6:29 am

Hey Boss...not sure if it's just on my browser but it seems like the URL tag isn't working properly. Instead of seeing a link's title I just see the full URL.

Good example on the Masterlist: http://sherlock.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?pid=39492

I have added a couple of plugins to Chrome so it's possible something is borked in my browser.

Ah OK. Yeah, I see it. So, when you post an URL with a title, how does it normally work? How do you type it in when you post it?

Normally I just type the title, then select it and use the link button on the reply menu. You put the url in and it populates the bbcode for you. However, when I edit the masterlists, I write them in source code. Both methods are currently having the same result so it seems the URL tag is no longer working. Has the bbcoding changed?

Oh yeah....that's weird. Didn't work. I'll e-mail Boardhost.

No joy on this one?

They still haven't replied to my email.

Slackers.

Well, if it helps (!) we're apparently back to the old 'can't post from a tablet' situation. Wonder why it doesn't load as the mobile layout on my tablet?? Weird.

I've sent them a chase up e-mail about the URLs

UPDATE: They replied to my e-mail today to say sorry about the delay and that they're working on the problem and will get back to me.
