Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if any of you are having the same problem as me, or if it's maybe just Hotmail messing everything up. I'm not able to open the links in the emails sent from the forum. (The automatic ones triggered by posts in topics you are subscribed to.)

The URLs I'm sent to for the "reply", "quote", "View Topic/Message", "Unsubscribe from this forum" aren't valid.
For example for the reply link in one of the emails this is the url I get: http://./?t=post&reply_to=508058
So of course I'm then just told that it can't find the server "."
Firefox and IE both give me the same thing.

Thanks

Edit:
I used the view message source option in hotmail, and I can see that this is in the html:

<tr class="RowStyleB">
	<td colspan="3">
	[ <a href=".?t=post&reply_to=508058">Reply</a> ][ <a href=".?t=post&reply_to=508058&quote=true">Quote</a> ][ <a href=".?t=rview&goto=508058#msg_508058">View Topic/Message</a> ][ <a href=".?t=rview&frm_id=49">Unsubscribe from this forum</a> ]
	</td>
</tr>


So it seems it's just using a relative link for all of them, not including any server info at all. It's just firefox interpreting it and sending me to http://./ and so on.

Just to confirm - none of the links works for me either (using one of Croatian free mail services).

Works for me.
From GMail on Firefox (OS X and Natty).
And the link generated is

Now I tried it with my work email address, and in the outlook web access I get proper links. Strange..

I see in the email source now that in the html header there's a <base> tag
<base href="http://www.orafaq.com/forum/" />

So this would then be the one hotmail (and the croatian free mail service) doesn't take into account. I'm anyways back to using Hotmail for the forum. I don't want these emails in my work inbox. It's a pity about the links though.
