[quote="JLA"]Hi Mr. Dockery,

Since it appears that you might have some contact with the admin of Nova
BBS - perhaps you can forward this on to them.  Their site is breaking
our topic/post link URLs coming from USENET.  It is only on Nova

Hello,

One of our users reported today that our reply topic/post links that are
appearing on your site are malformed and not showing as posted on
USENET.

An example can be seen here:
[code]

https://www.novabbs.com/arts/article-flat.php?id=44087&group=rec.music.rock-pop-r%2Bb.1950s#44087
[/code]

(See 4th post down)

[code]

Link is showing on your site as:
http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.phpꛫp᐀271192616#271192616

[/code]

when it should actually be

[code]
http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p᐀271192616#271192616
[/code]



If you check it via USENET news reader, you'll see the ? instead of ꛫ
that your site is rendering the link with.

Thanks

[quote="Will-Dockery"][quote="JLA"][quote="Will-Dockery"][quote="JLA"][quote="Will-Dockery"][quote="JLA"]Hi,

We saw George's response here:

http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=667315415#667315415

In it he mentions

 On the other, they're censoring out links to external
sites, a la Wikipedia, which makes them useless to me (as the bulk of my
posts are links to my blogs or places where my poetry appears.)

As a silver lining to that: I notice that Peter J Ross tried to hijack
the 2010 thread by snipping the poem and inclusing a link to his own
"work" - which doesn't work on JLA.

Can you check with him which links and items he speaks of so we can
correct them.

Thank You

I definitely will, I'll have George Dance write you about this.[/quote]

Thanks - another one of the members wrote about George's comments and we
are glad to fix whatever problem that he or anyone else might be
experiencing.  Just need to know what it is.[/quote]

This is excellent, thanks.[/quote]

Hi, saw that you mentioned you were having some problems with some of
your posts not appearing at JLA Forums. If you could give us some
specific examples of the posts that are not appearing. Example should
include what Usenet group, subject and entire text. Please email it to
info@jlaforums.com[/quote]

Thanks, here's one of the threads not appearing on JLA Forums:
