I mean that i copy the URL directly to my browser window - and it works.
Yet if i highlight text, then use the hyperlink button to paste the URL into the hyperlink box, click OK to create a link in my TS post, the link subsequently fails?
I regularly embed URL/links into text in my TS posts without problem. It's specifically just the one URL in particular that seems to be causing the problem
btw.. this problem (with this specfic link) just started within last coupla months. As i know i used to provide to people in prior posts (no problem) but have just noticed problem embedding that link starting couple months back.
Ok I get it now. It seems to me that the server you are linking to has been configured to prohibit external linking to PDF content and that's the source of the problem, nothing to do with TechSpot or the forum for that matter.
