A minor bug?
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 10:07 PM by Hawkeye-X
I'm surprised that this bug has lasted a long time.

The original link, going to Faux Orlando, has a "-" at the end of the link, which I think it's having trouble deciphering, which DU doesn't complete entirely, and gives us a misaddressed link.

Something that Elad can take a look at?

1. I just tried a test post
using the (long) link you provided and it seemed to work fine. However, when I came in here to explain that it worked fine, I reposted the link, and saw the problem you described. It seems that if the link comes at the very end of the text it works okay, but if there is text following the link, it becomes broken. I'll have Elad look at this.

Posting the link here for test purposes (note how the first link does not complete correctly but the second one does):

2. There are a couple odd characters at the end of links
that cause a little malfunction when the software attempts to translate them. I have tried to locate the problem, but the DCScripts code that handles this stuff is a maze of regexp (which is not my forte) and I have so far been unable to decipher where the problem is. I will continue to poke around but short of rewriting the whole thing I'm not sure there's much I can do here.
