Please let users send links to reddit. It will allow redditors to accrue karma in great amounts. ---

Probably not going to happen over the weekend but let me see what can be done here. ---

It would be a great way to advertise this board, and I’m sure many a Doper here is also a redditor! ---

So there you go – haven’t tested these links so dunno for sure if they work but please check them out. Any more need adding, we’ll need the url and an icon, send me email. ---

The URL and TITLE don’t evaluate to an actual URL and Title like they do in the other links. Perhaps a PHP syntax error? [![](https://i.imgur.com/4XnV2.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/4XnV2.jpg) ---

I’m going to merge this into the existing thread and then troubleshoot. ---

Okay, please try it now. I note this url doesn’t link directly to reddit – does it pick up the thread after you sign in? ---

> [@TubaDiva](#): > > Okay, please try it now. I note this url doesn’t link directly to reddit – does it pick up the thread after you sign in? Still doesn’t work. This time I get “[Reddit - The heart of the internet](http://reddit.com/submit?url=%25url%25&title=%25title%25,images/)” I’m guessing it’s inserted with PHP.. Perhaps if you paste the line here that creates the link we can work out what’s wrong with it 🙂 ---

Just clicked on the link and it took me directly to Reddit. Using Chrome and Windows 7, so nothing unusual. But here’s the code, maybe one of you folks can tell me where I messed up: ```auto http://reddit.com/submit?url={URL}&title={TITLE} ``` ---

Reddit link works correctly for me. ---

It does for me now. Maybe I was getting a cached version.
