In my new (Danish) Tennisforum I try in this topic http://find-relation.dk/wiz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=268&PID=529 - http://find-relation.dk/wiz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=268&PID=529 to create a link to http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/tournaments/womens-tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100031519 - CHIASSO OPEN 2014, Switzerland.

The link - http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/tournaments/womens-tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100031519 - http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/tournaments/women's-tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100031519 - has an apostroph', but the link doesn't Work.

I've both tried to use single and double apostroph as hyperlink, but in both occations the apostrophs are removed from the hyperlink.

In stead I ask the visitors top copy the link. Is there a solution for that situation??

That will be a generel problem, because one of the subfora refers to http://www.itftennis.com/home.aspx - ITF Tennis, and they have apostroph in all links to all pages concerning "men's" and "women's" sites.

Btw. in my own forum http://find-relation.dk/wiz/forum" rel="nofollow - http://find-relation.dk/wiz/forum (WebWizForum v10.18), I have no problem using hyperlinks (except from apostroph'), but in this forum links doesn't work (for me).

Adding links to post are disabled for the newbie group till they have 40 posts when they move to the next group where posts are allowed.

I have also moved this to the support forum as this would be a bug that will be looked in to rather than a suggestion for a new feature.

Have been investigating this issue for you.

An Apostroph or single quote mark ' is not common within a legitimate URL but are often used within URL's by hacker who use the single quote mark to lauch SQL Injection attacks, XSFR attacksand XSS attacks. Therefore the security filters remove these to prevent your visitors being used in hacking attacks.
