The facts are these:

I've been running without issue the trackback module for several months. I recently did install and have been sort of running the Xinha module. I was able to run both at the same time with no issue for several hours on monday; last night though, when I tried to run a "story" type node it was returned with: The trackback url is not a valid url.. This only happens for the story nodes and not blog, page, or image.

I have to assume that this is a result of the htmlArea module, as that's the only change I can think of, but then again I suck at all things Drupal so I might be on the wrong track. Thoughts?

I get the error message for all node types with trackbacks enabled.

Ok, I can disable the trackback module and post the story. If I reenable the trackback module I do get a trackback address.

If I go to that address,

Disable TinyMCE for the trackback editor area.

Or alternatively, disable rich editing every time you post.

View HTML source from TinyMCE and remove the "< p >" and "< / p >" tags from the text. Then it works.

I'm impressing myself with my own trouble shooting skills.

So the issue is definitely with html area. If I disable it, everything works fine. I set everything back to the default settings with no html area plugins, issue fixed. I'm going to gradually (maybe one by one) get the html area toobar back to where I want it to see where the issue is.
