Bug in [ URL ] tags

[Kevin P]

When a http URL contains an at sign (@), and I wrap it in URL tags to make it a hyperlink, the board adds "mailto:" in front.

For example, the following hyperlink should go to Symantec's information page on the W32.Gibe@mm worm. Instead, it tries to send email. If you click properties, you'll see that it inserts mailto: in front of the http://...

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.gibe@mm.html

Do you think you can fix this? Apparently the board interprets a URL with @ in it as an email address. If a protocol followed by a colon (e.g. http is already in the URL, it shouldn't do this.

Thanks!

There is no bugs... only un-documented features
The current workaround for this is to the replace the @ with
& # 64; take out the space chars....
I will have a look at the solution of checking if the http:// is in the string....

The un-documented feature is fixed.

Another undocumented feature is that is you try put two or more links



<a href="http://www.htguide.com[ /URL] Things just don't end up the way they are supposed to. For example

[URL]http://www.htguide.com" target="_blank">http://www.htguide.com[ /URL]

Things just don't end up the way they are supposed to. For example

[URL]http://www.htguide.com


But if you create a link like THIS
everything is ok
