Nov 21.2009

I am trying to help a friend who has a page @ orgsites.

He wants to link to pages on other server’s however using the code …
[B]<a href=”http://www.whatever.com“> Name here </a>[/B] isn’t working …
The URL appears in Addresss bar but PREFIXED by [url]http://orgsites-[/url] blah blah which leads to a 401 address not found

Do I need to add something to Link to switch server / clear address bar to recieve NEW address???

@KelfreshauthorNov 21.2009 — The page where I am trying to post LINK is - http://www.orgsites.com/ca/senioradvocates/

the site we wish to link to is http://invisibleyouthnetwork.net

when the link which is posted about half way down page is clicked it returns this

http://www.orgsites.com/ca/senioradvocates/&#37;22http://www.invisibleyouthnetwork.net/default.aspx%22

and a 404 page not found

Remove those and it will work

Thank You again ... Your A STAR!!
