BUG: URL's with spaces

[Storm]

Ive just found a bug when trying to post my desktop...

If you post a url with the url tags in it, with a space in it doesnt work properly.

here

like that, howeever when your replace it with the ASCII characters for spaces - %20 it works fine...

its not a bug

[Storm]

why not? it should complete the url and make it clickable, then the browser adds %20 automatically

Should be alright imo if the browser does it auto

A URL doesn't have a space.

However, your filename does, so it uses the % character to specify an ASCII character. You can use the % to subsitute other characers, too, if you are so inclined.

well if in html you create a link with a space when you click it, the browser adds %20 instead of the space, but for some reason the forum isnt parsing it :/

Because of the space. See what happens when I just paste the link?

Lesson to be learned? Yes, don't put spaces in your filenames.

If you got to put a space, You got to put %20 right after the space and put the rest of the link back.
