Tim,

I can get around most of the Link issues encountered by members, but this is one I have encountered a couple of times and I cannot work around it: the site address has one or more commas as part of its address. Since the Link tab interprets a comma as a parameter, I cannot get it to accept the web address. An example is a recent site referenced by cocollectibles - http://www.stampedia.net/stamp/catalogue/PA,RSFS/STAMP/Russian-Soviet-Federated-Socialist-Republic/ the BOLD portion of the address is where the problem lies

Anyway around this?

re: Link format and too many parameters problem

Replace the comma in the path with %2C

Make sure you do not introduce any extra spaces.
