problem with urls on mediefire links

sorry if this isnt correct place but it seems a code when embedded or posted in full in posts

on our forum problem related to mediefire upload links as they are not recognising the " http://www " in front of whats shows in forum posts

if one clicks on "quote" button one can see the full url and copy and paste into e mail etc and click on that to reach link
but no way can you reach them from forum posts

using the

Code:

[code][/code]

command. This can be a pain, but it may help!

quote buttons goosed here

may be a pain ?

could be as we havent a clue what it is , where it goes or what to do with it

NO rude suggestions please

we are NON pc code literate females , pretend your speaking to a lovely young child who thinks pcs are silly but is curiouse

Code:

When you post a reply look above and you will see code display, click on <> at top of reply box just click that and the above code comes up
Hope that helps and are you sure you are putting http:// before anything else and have you got allow html ticked

On my forum we copy and paste links in or is this posts that members have posted you are on about it might help if you posted on here your full forum addy like mine is http://www.thenmyforumname.net/ if you do that other members may be able to help you more

take off http://adf.ly/246619
now do
http://www.mediafire.com/?08uf2bwp69nmpn2

You may have to take the first part of everytime you post befor you press send
Because on my forum if a member pastes a link in they sometimes have touble as well we just go in and do edit and take first part out and it works.
hope that has helped you
please let us know

we do not put the adfly on its automaticaly done when certain upload sites links are posted

we post chess openings books on our forum , some 15 to 20 per week books that are mostly now allready on mediefire when we get them , and to download then re upload on other site would cost an absolute fourtune as we are on pay a s you go service provider at £25 for 7 gb data allowence , which lasts about 10 days running forum

Hello,

Forumotion system does this. You can't stop it or remove it.

sorry

forumotion is blocking the links ?

these are legal openings books not comercial ware

hello MrMario could you explain what exactly your post means please

Why don't you also try uploading them directly to your forum using the Attachments function?

thank you but like the code box doesnt come up , the attachments when winrar or 7 zip are tried we get a cant use those formats message despite attatchments being enabled


it would be common curtosy if mrmario explained exactly what was happening and whether it is just our forum thats being affected and why

What he is saying is that Forumotion blocks it. You can't get around it. I tried a couple tests on my forum, and it didn't work.

Code box code:

Code:

[code]URL HERE[/code]

(Just hit Select Code on the top right, copy it, and paste it.)

cannot get that code box up on our forum


why is forumotion blocking mediefire and why not announce it rather than cause so many problems and significant exspence

Allow me to re-phrase that. It doesn't necessarily 'block' it, it's just the Forumotion system messes with the URLs.

What are you putting in for the code? It works on ALL forumotion forums.

its not messing with its disabling it completly now

most we get with "code" is [code]

if we hit "code " twice we get 2 and putting links in doesnt do a thing to help

bit like a certain someone here realy

present company excluded

ok

useing the 2 codes

we can get the url to show , but unlike before you cannot click on them and go to link you have to copy and paste into spare tab of browser

no way can we get a code box up as in your post though

Please don't double/triple post. Your post need to be separated by 24 hours before bumping, replying or adding more information. Please use the edit button instead!

I believe everyone is misunderstanding what exactly is happening. I have some mediafire links on my forum, too. When you press them and press the skip add button, the homepage of mediafire loads not the download page.

we did not triple post

we got back to the person who kindly tried to help us


we sympathise with your problem and share it
we draw your attention to MrMarios post and as you will see we asked politely for an explanation , so there could be no missunderstandings
we are not IT , code and program literate to a degree of knowing half as much as an average coders apprentice , so sought help and advice then clarification
we are aware other forums have had similar problems with hotfire links ,but we havent , only mediefire this last 2 days

but we have noticed one other forum has had this same problem for 2 weeks , links miss out the /? when posted
now its happening to us

I heard that posting download links is not allowed,
Is that why we can't post mediafire links anymore?
Hope this problem is resolved soon =(

how many forums do not have downloadinks
