I am trying to send a link to a friend from the forum http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30%2C812227

When I click that link it takes me to the desired post, yet when my friend clicks it it just takes him to the front page of the forum. Anyone have any idea what is going on and how I send a link tot he forum?

I don't think it's to do with being logged in or not.


The URL you want to send seems to be http:// www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,812227 .


What is actually sent shows up as http:// www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30%2C812227 in the page source.


The %2C is a valid encoding of a comma, but it appears to be causing difficulties for some software.

I wouldn't sweat over the cause but just try resending the comma version.


In both cases above I've put a space after the http:// , so that this forum's parser will display the full text here rather than making a link of it. Take the space out, of course, to send it. You should be able to test the link in your out tray. In any case, browsers should be able to manage without the http:// , though any software displaying it without probably won't treat it as a clickable link.


Grisly details of URL encoding here for them as wants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
