Why do I keep getting this message whenever I try to post on ILM's Psychedelic Country thread? Is there something somebody can do about it? Thanks!

For whatever it's worth, what I've been trying to post is just a link to another, related thread. (And I just got the same error message when I tried to post it here, as a test.)

Several hours later (way past "shortly"), still getting the same error message...

Problem doesn't seem to be on my end:
So, there's a a previous thread on this from a couple years ago, called "I found $41 on the ground today, so let's talk about Psychedelic Country!"; I've been trying to link to it for the past 24 hours, and keep getting the same retarded error message. Anyway, it lists lots of stuff not mentioned here; maybe somebody else can cut and paste the link...

That'll do it. Oddly, I posted it in BBCode, it returned the error and refused it. Then I just posted it for C&P and it mounted it. Perhaps a change was made to how the chatboard software handles naked URLs.

That message means that you've found a bug. The "try again shortly" advice doesn't mean a whole lot. Paste the exact content of what you've been trying to post here, and I'll see if I can make a suggestion.

At a guess, I'd say the dollar sign in the thread title is screwing up the URL conversion.

I don't think so. It rejected the tinyurl substitute with the same error message for me before I posted it sans BBCode.
