Invalid URL
 

In the [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/update/"]account settings page[/URL], it is stated that the website URL “must begin with "http://" or "https://"”, so it seems that https:// should also work, but by using it, I get an “Invalid URL” message. [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/2013/jsFormValidation.js"]This[/URL] would need to be redefined:

[CODE]
function IsValidURL(urlstring) {
return MatchesPattern(urlstring.toLowerCase(), 'http:\\/\\/[\\w\\-]+(\\.[\\w\\-]+)+');
}[/CODE]I just wanted to point that out.

Oh, thanks... good find, and good troubleshooting. I like it when tech savvy folks not only report an error but take the time to dig a little deeper... it makes life easier.

I don't know if that's a fix for James since it's actually in Javascript (not even sure if that's a 3rd party script or not), but one way or another we'll check into it and hopefully just an easy regex fix.

That's a REALLY old version of the jsFormValidation ... ick. It's kind of abandonware, apparently. I'm probably better off just patching it to use (http|https) in that part of the regex. :sad:

In fact, I just did that, using (http|https)

Why not [code]https?[/code]
?

I guess that would've worked as well. Oh well. :smile:
