I think I finally got it figured out.

Thanks for your help Bruce.

Cheers

Question:

Is there a way to remove the Error: The download of the specified resource has failed. Blog Posts.

I've never use that feature, can it be disabled?

I have also noticed that since upgrading to the latest version inserting hyperlinks in posts don't seem to be working.

Can you help?

Have you enabled "Convert Text Links to Hyperlinks" in the "Topic and Post Settings" in the forum admin area?

When enabled when you submit a post any web links detected in posts will converted to hyperlinks.

Thanks Bruce,

That option seems to be on by default but hyperlinks still don't work.

I have noticed that when using Chrome I set the Hyperlink Properties and hit the Preview button, it will say in the preview window "yahoo.com" or "google.com" refused to connect. Every site I enter refuses to connect. However, when I put a link to my own website it works.

Firefox error:

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, www.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

If I just hit the OK button the text that I wanted to turn into a hyperlink now shows as just plain text: https://google.com

Also you may have missed this question...

Is there a way to remove the Error: The download of the specified resource has failed. Blog Posts.

We have not been able to replicate the issue of not being able to convert text in to a hyperlink in Firefox.

The hyperlink preview window will be removed in the next release, as most websites now send security headers that prevent the website from being viewed within another website blocking the preview window from working.

If you are seeing the failed download of blog posts it means that you would have connected the forum to newspad in a previous version and now that newspad URL no-longer works. A new admin section has been written for the next release of Web Wiz Forums that will allow you to edit or remove this URL.

Finally figured it out...it was a permissions issue for the Newbie Group.
