We are aware of this problem and are trying to find a way to make the system more usable without leaving it vulnerable to some of the security issues the html block is designed to address. In the meantime if you paste your comment into a simple text editor - such as notepad on PCs - and then into the forum it should work. It is best to avoid email addresses and hyperlinks as well, although if you paste a URL into the post it should work (although it will not be a link).

The problem with links should have now been fixed. You can make text in a post into a link by selecting it and then clicking on the hyperlinks button in the tool bar above (the chain link icon).

For example this text links to an external site, the CLG.

There still seems to be a problem with internal links ie. to other articles on Inside Housing, so I'll report that to our developers.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Each time I try and write a new topic, it tells me it has failed as it needs to be over 20 characters, which it is!?  I'm probably doing something very silly but its driving me around the bend!

    for some reason i am not able to get a new discussion started  i am simply warned it must contain more than 20 charecters which it does.

    It's certainly having the desired effect on my use of the site. Normally i take a quick look when i've got a few mins to spare but now I'm not bothering.

    Is it coincidence that the number of 'one hit' posters has reduced if not ceased - perhaps the groupies are too busy fighting seats!

    I'll just talk to myself about this then...

  • From F451, 20/12/2011 3:50 pm in The new front page layout - is it Marmite?

    Could comment boxes be made any larger, so that eye-scan reviewing is simpler (essential for rushed numbskulls who can't spell) or failing that a preview option prior to posting to assist sending in those posts with glaring errors, or even missing parts?

    I have just gone back to the IH home page and found the story.

    I am impressed with that PSR except I am not sure "little" is the correct word.

    Melvin - please do not reveal yourself, with or without mask, it may be more than some could cope with!
