URL not valid

I keep getting this error with a link i'm trying to add to the directory > http://www.pendle.gov.uk

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
The URL you entered is not valid. Please make sure that you have entered a valid URL.

i'm getting this error with any link now, although it was working five mins ago. Could this be a server issue?

Verify New Links?
Set this option to 'Yes' if you would like to check links and make sure they exist before they are allowed to be submitted. This option will help prevent broken links from being posted, but may also create problems if a server is down or otherwise unaccessable.

When that option is set to 'Yes', then it will do a check to see if it can find the website. If not, then it results in that error. As the description of the option says though, a limitation is that if a site is down due to server problems or other issues, then it will not be recognized as a valid site.

Yep, sorry should have looked correctly at the setup.

Working fine, great system. Now can you make a decent image gallery just for vb that doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some out there! ;-)

That's next on the agenda. ;)
