update on forum

I'm not sure what you mean by 'automated forum reply'... Do you mean the emails that notify you of a new post in a subscribed forum? I received the notice of your post and the link works for me for what it's worth.

It may be because only Registered users are allowed to post to this group (to minimize spam). I've changed that to allow the Public to post and reply. Please try the link again and let me know if that works. If so, I'll leave the settings as changed. If we get swamped by spam we'll have to revisit.

The problem is that the url in the email that links to the post is not formatted correctly.

You need to add www. in front, so that
928oc.org/forum/928-oc-technical-discuss...pdate-on-forum/21504
becomes
www.928oc.org/forum/928-oc-technical-dis...pdate-on-forum/21504

Hi Nluk..
Ah... got it.
I received a notification for your last post, and it reads...
URL : www.928oc.org/forum/928-oc-technical-dis...pdate-on-forum/21511
and links to the forum post just fine.

It's not a solution, but try using www.928oc.org when browsing to the forum. When I do that, I see the 'www' string ( www928oc.org/forum ) when hovering over the 'Forum' menu item. When I use 928oc.org/forum I do not.
Then let me know and I'll make a test post from this Topic and you can let me know if that works. Thanks.

For some reason, when I set a redirect from 928oc.org to www.928oc.org it still shows it without 'www'.

The OC needs a volunteer that really understands this web stuff. I'm not that person.

Yeah, I had to add www to mine to get it to work - you need to edit your .htaccess file to fix this issue.

This is what I get in my forum reply emails.

The .htaccess file looks OK, but what do I know?.......

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^928oc\.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.928oc\.org$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\/\/www\.928oc\.org" [R=301,L]

I don't think that's correct - you need this code to add www to all requests;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.928oc.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.928oc.org/$1 [L,R=301]

I sent you (or whoever looks after the moderation) a separate note re: helping you with the website/forum - did you not get it?
