    hi,

    been having a problem with myspace in bulletins, comments and messages. every time i use the word info, as in www.hostedweb.info or <a href=http://www.hostedweb.info>www.hostedweb.info</a> instead of the link or text appearing normally, instead all you see is www.hostedweb.. and the word 'info' just disappears.

    this is naturally very frustrating as i've had to resort to things like www.hostedweb.i n f o to send messages.

    does anyone know of a way around this ?

    That's part of MySpace security making sure people don't screw things up. Try http://tinyurl.com/ that will redirect to your other domain.

    i logged a support request with myspace and apparently they are looking in to it, but all they sent me was a link to their blog saying to get more info there and lo and behold, there isn't anything...

    :grumble:
