Here is what I am trying to do:

1. prevent users from adding URLs in their signature block
2. while still allow them to add their email address in signature block

I am on the 3.3.03 version, running on Access.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

STW.

The easy solution:

open pop_profile.asp in a text editor and go to this part:

		if Len(ChkString(Request.Form("Sig"),"message")) > 255 then
			Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your signature can not be greater than 255 characters. "
			Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "It now is <b>" & Len(ChkString(Request.Form("Sig"),"message")) & "</b> characters long.</li>"
		end if

Add this right below it:

		if (instr(Request.Form("Sig"),"http")> 0) Or (instr(Request.Form("Sig"),"www")> 0) then
			Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You're not allowed to put URLs in your signature.</li>"
		end if

Now go to this part:

				if Len(Request.Form("Sig")) > 255 then
					Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>The signature can not be greater than 255 characters. "
					Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "It now is <b>" & Len(Request.Form("Sig")) & "</b> characters long.</li>"
				end if

And add this right below it:

                if (instr(Request.Form("Sig"),"http")> 0) Or (instr(Request.Form("Sig"),"www")> 0) then
                    Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You're not allowed to put URLs in your signature.</li>"
                end if

I tested it and it works just fine. Since e-mail addresses don't use http or www this will filter out URLs but leave e-mail addresses alone.
Sorry for the lack of line numbers but the only version of the forums that I have on my computer right now are modded so the line numbers won't help much.
