Hello,
when I search
java & html
it has some error
(http://p2p.wrox.com/search.asp?mode=...ript&x=24&y=21)
although if I search
C# & html
there is no error.

also it seems there is something wrong with links
as you see above the link doesnt render correctly by knowing that I've put [url][/url] around it.

Hi Mehdi,

Regarding link issue, you haven't closed the [URL] tag properly.

This is what I got mailed to my personal ID.

why this is mailed to you?!
although after that I editted it and correct the tag,[url][/url],
as you told me it was better to use [ URL=....].....[/URL].

Yes, once the content is posted, that is mailed to all who subscribed, but thereafter for any edit job, it doesn't notify the subscriber. So, I got the one before you edited. Also I see some spaces in the query string of that url in the post that you edited. Can you edit that URL part of it, and post that with spaces before and after []s? Let me have a look at it to see what is going wrong in that.

Leave the "&" out of your search and it will work fine.

Yes, the third one is correct way of using [url] tag. Hope you are comfortable with it now.

Cheers!
