How about providing us the URL to your add form, so that we can look at the HTML source code???

Possible reasons:

1) This could be related to embedded form tags in your add.html file.

2) This could be related to Mods you have installed without adding the proper code to the add.html file or other add template files.

3) You have not included the name="process_form" attribute in your submit input field.

But without seeing your add form...I am playing the good 'ol guessing game in the dark, blindfolded, with my hands tied behind my back.

Smile

Please provide an URL to your add form.

Thanks.

Regards,

Silly me, I guess my frustration took over my common sense.

the url is http://www.fashionfirst.com/cgi/links/add.cgi

another problem, I cant seem to get the index.html page to show as the first page. I have the other threads and even followed the suggestion you made in another thread, but I am getting a cgi error message when building from the admin page.

thanks,
rafi

The problem with your add form is that you have a closing </form> tag right after the form action code line. Take out the </form> after the form action codes.

Your form should look like the following:

Code:
<form action="http://www.fashionfirst.com/cgi/links/add.cgi" method="POST">
<div class="margin">

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

You have to change the permission of your index.html in the root directory of your account to 777 (rwxrwxrwx), so that the other directories and files can be built.

Another suggestion...while not recommended is to change the permission of your ROOT directory to 777.

Good...BTW: I cannot be held accountable if your hosting company has problems with you changing the permission of your ROOT directory to 777, which many hosting companies frown upon.
