When I post a link to another part of the forum, I get the follow pop-up message:

The input may not contain HTML.

I do not understand why I am getting this message as it was working earlier. Any ideas?

Looks like it's working fine..

But a link is not HTML so whatever you had copied must have contained code in it somewhere.

testing as well.

huh. Well now it works. I wonder if I somehow triggered some kind of timer by posting 1 link earlier.

...and now this looks like I'm spamming :(

*edit*

AHA!!! I just tried linking in another thread and I got the same problem. Has this become such a problem that legitimate users have to wait to post? It is especially annoying since there's no timer and if you get the message, it erases everything you did.

*edit*
Nope. It is definitely flagging links as HTML.

One problem with the forums is that it can't seem to parse URLs with GET values, it ends up encoding the '&' used to seperate the parameters. So you try to link to a killboard so you can look all smug and you end up with a malformed URL with '&' where the '&' should be.
