I was sometimes running into the following error message when submitting the FORM to create a thread:

"No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

I'd seen references to it within this mod thread but I couldn't find a solution to the problem. After some experimentation I was able to figure out what was wrong in my case. So I'll share it here in case this happens to anyone else.

I use vbSEO to create URLs out of the vb thread titles for Google. So within FORMS I was creating nice thread titles by concatenating several "answers" to create a nice URL/thread title. The problem was that the thread titles sometimes got too long for vBulletin. And when that happened, I broke the system and got the error message shown above.

The moral of the story is to watch the length of your FORM submission thread titles -- especially if they are variable in length.

Hope that helps others. -- Rik
