URL Automatic Desciptions

[mark_r]

Hi.

I've noticed that when inserting URLS that end in a ')' in a post, they are screwed up when the title of that URL is automatically put as the description by the forum.

eg http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_River_(Western_Australia)
becomes Swan River (Western Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

(note the last bracket is in the wrong place - instead of in the URL is after the whole lot).

I realise it will be a long way down the list of priorities, but it may be something you could look at in future.

Cheers

With Auto title

Swan River (Western Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Without Auto title

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Ri...tern_Australia)

I think he is just saying the last bracket is not red

Ok it's got nothing to do with the auto title. (which you can turn off when making a post if needed)

Probably has something to do with () not really being part of a standard url charset

[Pkunk]

use escape chars?

Nope - click on the link and you'll see... is missing the ) from the URL.

Yeah, when the forum recognises a url and encapsulating in <a> and </a>, is deciding that the bracket is after the URL and not part of it.

so is there somewhere (a button or something i can type) to have a URL say what I want?
