Hello,

When posting the following link

the post does not recognize it as a link in the message.

Is this a bug?

Thanks,

I think the regex is choking on the % sign

%20 is a space to a Linux server running Apache.

Best never to use direct spaces in anything web related but rather an underscore for spaces.

"web_space" rather then "web space".

that's a good 'practice' Thelockman-UNiT, but you'll never get members to adhere to that rule all the time..

the regex (bbcode.inc.php) could (should) be updated to handle it... :2c:

oh and %20 is space for ANY url.. it's nothing to do with apache and linux.. %20 loves IIS / doze too and is just how url encoding works.. %20 (hex 20) is decimal 32, which is ascii number for space ..

My members complained about it to. They couldn't grasp that the should name folder in photobucket without a space and use an underscore.

Told them if they want it to work, best change that folder name :X

yah, i personally NEVER use spaces in URL's and typically use underscores _ instead... it's 'natural' to me, but assuming it's natural for everyone else, doesn't work

LOL, yes you are right. Assumptions are the mother of all....you know what! All we can do is steer them in the right direction.

I never uses spaces in URLs. But that isn't the case for the members of our message board. Even still if %20 is a legitimate sequence in a URL then I would think UBB Threads should support it.

yeppers

It use to work that way prior to 7.4.1 I think
