Thanks for that explanation I have seen the same red HTML warning just for using text formatting Or for using links that aren't from the community  i just triggered it again with the same . ... View more

Lithium, please note:     When creating the posts here that had straight URLs pasted in for your reference so that you could see the tweets and posts I was referring to, Lithium gave me the following warning when I tried to Post Your Comment.       Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied   Now I was just posting the URLs of tweets and posts in this community.lithium.com site.  I know of no other HTML in my posts.  I didn't use any of the text formatting options on your site.  I only used the default "RICH TEXT" entry box to make my posts.   If your machines need to make some kind of adjustments to the URLs, just do it.  I don't need a warning in red just because I'm trying to document what's going on with simple pasted URLs.    This warning is just another step.  It's overly complex. It added no value to my experience.  I have no idea what HTML your site recognized and "corrected" for me.  It's not useful to me or to you.   And I'm only noting it because it happened again to me when I documented the result of Klout getting back to me by email on the original thread where @JeffS was trying to help me.  (here: https://community.lithium.com/t5/Suggestions-for-our-community/Where-to-ask-questions-about-Klout/m-p/192881/highlight/false#M1288 )     Thanks.   And I just got the same error again when trying to post this comment.  See image:   ...

 Thank you @JulieH and @KennethS  for the follow up.      Is Lithium some kind of support platform like Jive?  I'm having some flashbacks.  Not as bad as Jive but there are similarities in my experience, documented above.   ... View more

I was invited by Lithium staffer JeffS to sent him a direct message on the system in regard to this thread.    https://community.lithium.com/t5/Suggestions-for-our-community/Where-to-ask-questions-about-Klout/m-p/192703#M1280   I opened JeffS's profile  https://community.lithium.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/197   and looked for a place to send a message.  Didn't find it.   I went back to the forum and mousedover the gear-shaped settings icon on his post. Not there.   I found it by mousingover his icon in the thread.  "New Message"   Clicking that I was taken to a page that said I don't have sufficient permissin on this site to do that.  I could send an email to lithium or access this guide.   I remembered that there was an email I had received "Welcome to the Lithium Community" and wondered if I needed to verify my email.  Turns out I did.     Note to Lithium:  When you send out an email requesting an action, the Subject should be "Action needed: Please verify your email address" (action oriented) rather than "Welcome to the community" (doesn't prompt user to open it and do something).   Verifying my email address did not fix this issue.    So, here I am at your Guide page.  I used Find on Page to search for info about Messages.  Didn't find it.  So what exactly do I need to do?   ...
