Hi,

I have written a link in the newsletter which just sends me an email to unsubscibe, but it doesn't take them off the list (in MB on the PC or the online MLM list).

I know there is the MLM unsubscribe form which they can manually use and I guess this takes them off the MLM list. Correct?

Also this link
http://www.mysite.com/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe[&list=list1[;list2;...]]&email=email_addr[&pwd=password]
Click to expand...

gives me this error if I place it in the nesletter with an unsubscibe button.

Error - Command 'unsubscribe[' not supported
Click to expand...

How can I have them unsubscibe so that they are taken off the list and I get an email about it?

Thanks

oz

Yes the whole thing is set to and is, HTML only.

Here you will see at the unsubscribe button I have reset it to sending us an email so we can manually unsubscribe from the list.

Would rather that they hit the button and it is done auto, if that is how we can do it.

Built in BlueGriffon.

Thanks again

Ok, since you link to a picture you can't use that tag easily, better use this code:

Code: 
<a title="Unsubscribe" href="http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter-lm/lm/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe&list=[List name]&email=[E-mail Address]"><img src="http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter/images/unsubscribe.gif">

Tried that link code

http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter-lm/lm/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe&amp;list=[List%20name]&amp;email=[E-mail%20Address]
Click to expand...

and after clicking on the button image got this..

Error - You forgot to provide the email address parameter: &email=emailaddress
Click to expand...

Not sure what this is about :-(

Sorry Stan. Still no go..

This is the code I have placed in the newsletter for the unsubscibe image.

Code: 
http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter-lm/lm/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe&amp;list=[List%20name]&amp;email=[E-mail%20Address]

This is the error I get on the page at that address.

Code: 
Error - You forgot to provide the email address parameter: &email=emailaddress

When I look in trhe Stats panel, this is what I see after 'Clicked'....
Code: 
http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter-lm/lm/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe&amp;list=2016-fans-Spring-Oct16

If I place this code into the browser

Code: 
http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter-lm/lm/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe&amp;list=[List name]&email=[E-mail Address]

I get this page

Error: Email address not found
We're sorry, but the email address [e-mail address] has not been found in any of the lists. Check the address and try again. If you think this is an error please contact us at [email protected].

Format is HTML

Code: 
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type">

Okay, well I tried it again.

Maybe this may help..

Copying your 'Correct' one....

Code: 
http://www.starliterecords.com.au/newsletter-lm/lm/lm.php?cmd=unsubscribe&list=[List name]&email=[E-mail Address]

to my html page in BlueGriffon, I cut and pasted it to MB, saved it, then sent a test to myself.

When I clicked the unsubscribe button link after getting the email, I get this error again..

Code: 
Error - You forgot to provide the email address parameter: &email=emailaddress

To see what the link code looks like after it has been sent to me, I then right click 'Copy Link Location' on the Unsubscibe button of that test email and I get this..

Code:
