OK This is the third time I've tried to reply. !! I keep getting "General Error"

There appears to be a 5 day stand down period to upload info and urls

If it's not a site issue, which it could be, but most likely not, what it is is the way you name your files. If it says "mysonglostandlonely.mp3, that's cool. But if it says "mysong-lost and lonely.mp3" or any image file named similarly, it will not upload. It cannot have any odd characters, only letters and numbers in continuing order, no breaks, no underscores, none of that.

Then you should be OK. If it is site error, that is a Greg thing.

Have no idea what "stand down period" refers to. You have to use HTML protocol to make your links clickable.
<a href="Your Link Here"></a>

This creates a hyperlink you want that clicks through to the desired page.

Also you can go:

<a href="Actual http:// link here">Your Link name here</a>

This creates a name you want that clicks through to the desired page.

You are a Japan Member, so there are no restrictions on anything you do, you just have to approach it according to the protocol. It's a php site, so everything is server side. Your code gets read like a webpage on this website. Greg will see this in the morning, I am sure he can fix it if it is broke. I think what I have told you should solve the issue though.

There could be some kind of "stand down" period, like you said. But that would be very lame for a member of your status. (In my NOT SO humble opinion.)

Your YouTube embed code is working fine. Google sucks these days, so it is slow, but it will cache on the SQL database here at the site, and then it will run faster.

Ooooohhhh Wait, I just got it! Yeah, there is a waiting period for urls on the Forum. Sorry, it's spam thing. And your YouTube code, you will have to tag it. I don't know if that really works or not, it doesn't on my site.

Thanks, Looks like we're up and running now. I asked for the stand down period to be waived. Somebody fixed it.

My only issue now is the youtube clip is getting audio interference from another clip. I'll look into that.

Anyway, take a look at Angela's site and make some comments.

cheers,
Wayne
