Can't create a new forum. Forum name is rejected.

[Radrook]

I am trying to create a new forum and every time I enter a name I get the message that it must only be composed of letters.
The name is Variety Galore. Isn't that composed of letters?

You might try getting rid of the space. I don't think url's can have spaces in them.

synch is correct. A URL can't have a space. However, if you prefer, you can use a dash rather than running the words together.

variety-galore is currently available on all three ProBoards domains.
proboards.com, freeforums.net, and boards.net

Radrook, as mentioned above the URL itself cannot contain spaces. However, once you create the forum, you can have spaces in the forum title.

Thanks for the info. I managed to create the forum. Now I have the problem that my youtube links don't automatically show a screen as was usually the case. Is that because I have .net instead of .com?


varietygalore.boards.net

Have answered this on your other thread.

hi Radrook

It won't matter which of the three domains on the ProBoards service you use. They all function exactly the same. You just need to select the same settings on this forum as you had on your other forum.

From your Admin panel, navigate:
Admin Home> Settings> Forum Settings> stay on the Forum tab.
To the right of 'Auto-Embed Video Links' click the radio button that says Yes.

It will auto-save, so you're done! Pic in spoiler.
