Yes, but what *is* the URL scheme in question?  Set User Mode to
"Advanced" and/or refer to the '=' INFO screen (while "on" that
smiley button) in order to see.

If the URL is something like "javascript:...", it just isn't supported,
just as the message says.

[ I don't 'register' at Web sites just to reproduce someone's problem -
if a site chooses to limit access, and requiring any sort of personal
information is a form of limitation, then it's really up to them to
track down problems with their thus-limited userbase. ]
