Can't reply to thread

Candamir

Hi, I'm trying to post a reply in the DCM novices thread in athletics and running - I can't post it keeps coming up with 'you can post with images/urls because you are a new user' My post is just text. Help!!

Are you trying to quote a post as part of your reply?

Candamir

I did try first to quote, but when it didn't work I just copied my bit of the post and tried again to post it with no quote. Maybe it's that? It's a long post - I don't want to have to retype it!!

A link in a quoted post also triggers the anti-spam measure last I recall. Did it work without the quote?

Candamir

No it didn't. Is it because I copied and pasted 'my' bit of the post to repost it? Actually I replied in the thread before and quoted a post and that worked fine. I guess I'll have to retype the post and hope for the best. Or when do I become not a new user!

Candamir

Ok. I figured it out! I was including the character "@" (to denote pace) and it obviously saw it as a URL! Thanks for your help!

After 5 posts and 24 hours of having an account, you can post images and URLs. Hope that helps and welcome to Boards.
