What version are you running and exactly when does this occur, and does it stop the link from working???? ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

i'm running 6.34 when i use "add hyperlink" button, is when this happens. it happens when i am trying to add a standard link, with alternate text like this [URL=http://www.myWeb.com]My Link[/URL] it DOESN'T happen when using forum code. the odd thing is it doesn't happen all the time, but the link doesn't work when the extra code gets added |

20% is URL encoding for a space, browsers then see the 20% in a URL as a space and so should only appear in links that have spaces in them. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
