Pasting links

Walker · 07-06-2007, 12:31 AM

When I paste this link into a thread:

h**p://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AME WA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110145986224&rd=1&rd=1

the system parses it out to(I replaced the first bracket before URL with an asterisk):

*URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AME WA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110145986224&rd=1&rd=1"]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AME WA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110145986224&rd=1&rd=1[/url]

When I do a "preview", I can get to the web page, but when I submit it and then click on it, I get a page not found. I can edit the post, go to preview, click on the link, and see the page, without having made any changes.

Where did I go wrong???

Ebay link

Does that work? I just typed some letters and then clicked on the little "hyperlink" button(the globe with a chain on it) and pasted the URL to there.

And that's one nice(and cheap

) Blazer. I hope it goes up in price to make me feel better.

strange seems to work it may just be the phrasing stumbling on words

Ok Figured it out.

The problem is the space in the URL. The web browser automatically translates the space to a %20 and it works fine. However the URL script running on MCB Craps out when it sees the space and mangles the URL.
