Help., links in posts wont work

[LeroyP]

If I try and post a link in a post, it wont work. Weird because it did before and no one changed anything. Is there a setting somewhere that lets me link out?
this is what I get.

Its every link posted anywhere. If someone copy and pastes a URL to an ebay ad, wont work. How is that server related?

Can provide a link to an example?

Please create a test account with limited permissions and provide the details here. However this sounds more like a server error then a vBulletin one, try speaking to your hosting provider.

However if you then go back and edit the post a link can be added, but only the url shows, it is not clickable to follow.added info. Have just tried links via pm and they work ok, it seems to be just in new posts

I have entered a ticket with the hosting company (servage) but was wondering if there was anything VB related that may be causing it?

Thanks in advance for any advise
