Hi,
If you include a link in a post on my installation of webwizforums, it seems to put a space in the link.
 
Also, when using the code tags, it sometimes changes some characters in the code fragment.
 
Any Ideas?
 
Thanks
Simon

With long text strings, such as links they are split at the 60th character to force word wrapping.

With links, the link itself is not split, only the displayed text, so the link will still work when clicked.

For security there are many complex filters in use to prevent malicious code from being placed in posts. This sometimes courses problems with displays in posts.

Without these filters hackers can use hacks like XSS to hack your board and can even use XSS to get admin passwords etc.

This means that a compromise has to be made, to allow as much as possible within posts, but also filter anything that could be malicious code.
