And this is the reason I asked Grunt to post as a Sticky, so we could all refer back to it! Seems Grunt's instructions aren't being well received. (71)
By the way, where is the emote of a happy face with his hand slapping his forehead- lol!

Quick, I am mystified still as I cant read the html (?) that sits behind your link. I realise it's a syntax error thats producing the weird result of link attempts, I'm sure I done it as per orders from Mr.Grunt, lemme have ONE more go....... *** (22) ***

I didnt put INDEX did I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So browser went for hardmaps index - yeah??????
I'll just try both ways to test that theory out, the links both point at the same domain, a site I made for my brothers business. *this link shouldnt work* *this should*

Hrmph - ok - ANOTHER LESSON then.
When you create a forum post, click the PREVIEW button first to check your post so that you know the link works - THEN click the SUBMIT button.
Also, a web link only needs the / at the end. The browser will automatcally look for a file called index.htm to load - thats the default htm code. If a dir doesnt have that, the browser will list the contents of that dir - thats why when you own/build a site - ALWAYS have something called index.htm in a dir - that way no-one can see inside your dir.
