Description of problem

Attempted to add a link to BestBuy.com to one of the forum threads> http://ts3cc.canadian-forum.com/t1418p615-the-revived-on-the-back-porch#62041
Getting message: "You haven't got the rights to access this page" and have to take out the link. Permissions seem to be in order in Admin Panel. Tested with my Admin account (I discovered the issue) and a Member account with same results.

Did you try posting the message without the link?

It will let me post without that link. However the point was to share a link with our Members.  Is there something in outside retail links that would generate this message and prohibit posting? Staff and Members share links all the time. I am curious as to why this cannot be done.

its probably forumotions security. perhaps it thinks its a spam link.
try useing http://tinyurl.com/ to change the url and see if u can post it then

Still mystified as to why that site would be considered Spam ...but http://tinyurl.com/ worked.
Thank you for your help.
