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

    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?

    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!

    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.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
