Long URLs dont work

[Mr. X]

case in point:

http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ProductDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&prmenbr=1&prnbr=9503DG0&cntry=840&lang=en_US

This url works just fine. I copied it from a thread on an OpenTopic forum and it didnt have this problem, but it wont work here nor on my own board. Any ideas?

Seems to work fine here...

Try turning off wordwrapping on your board.

Dont seem to work there, unless Im really missing something?

Seems that the URL parser is objecting to the fact that 'www' doesn't come right after 'http://'...

Take a look:

[url[size=2]]http://commerce.[/url[/size]][[size=2]url]www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ProductDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&prmenbr=1&prnbr=9503DG0&cntry=840&lang=en_US[[/size]/url]

I suggest that you enter the url into your post like this:

[url]http://commerce.blablabla...[/url]

(including the [url] tags)

and un-check "Automatically parse URLs" in the post options.

Let's see if this works... http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/...840&lang=en_US
