adding a link issue

[sunnycher]

When I go to the links directory on the forum, I try to add a link and it just sits there loading. Nothing happens.

What am I missing? :)

I tried to take a look, but couldn't see much as a guest... Do you have a test account that I could login with? Or, if you would rather submit a support ticket then that would work too.

Brian, you have a permanent login on the site.
Brian us your username.

I'm guessing that's an account you created for me at some point? I tried to login using some of the passwords I typically use, but none worked.

I pm'd you the info Brian.

Thanks. I just tried submitting a link to vbadvanced.com (and deleted it afterwards), but didn't have any problems. Is it perhaps just a particular web site that you're having a problem submitting?

[sunnycher]

Thanks Brian! Must be the link I'm trying to put in.
Works with the others....strange. But thank you!

[sunnycher]

UGH! This is crazy LOL
Some links it takes and others it just acts like it's loading and nothing happens.
Am I missing something? it's happening to others too.

I assume the sites you're trying to add are valid, right? If so...

Admin CP => vBa Links => Modify Settings => Main Options => Remote Site Function

You may want to try changing that setting to 'fsockopen' and see if you have the same problem. The fsockopen function does not have as thorough of a check and will let some sites through that the CURL functions will see as invalid due to the headers the site sends back.
