Forum valiation error

[JavaGeek_Boston]

Whenever I type anything with an annotation, such as (at)Required, I get:

The following errors occurred with your submission:

1. You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 5 posts or more.

This is obviously a huge barrier to forum participation as this entire forum is related to annotations.

Thanks,

It also gives the same error when I try to insert links to other posts. Apparently, it thinks forum.springframework.org is an external site.

Hi, yes these are 'known issues' with the forum, but do help cut down on spam. The good news is, now that you have > 5 posts, it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks,
