strange url parsing stupidity...

[nexialys]

testing:
http://www.vbulletin.org/vB/

why in the HELL the url is modified ??

the url is supposed to be ended with a v b b not a v B ... (i need to space the characters to display it correctly...)

i think that the parsing is playing with the vB stuff and it's not supposed to.

And this is to do with vBulletin.org because.... ;)?

[nexialys]

because it's related to your site only... ;)

i had to give a url to someone in a pm for the entire day, with the vbb at the end, and the guy was receiving a vb only.. so the url was not working...

i suppose you added somthing to filter that part of a url... try it, you'll see!!

Oh ok i'm following now. I found it hard to understand what you were saying at first :) The replacement was added to stop all the confusion. A good year or two ago there used to be lots of people mistakenly calling vB => vbb - so I think the founder here added a replacement :)

would be good to delete it now... i think that 2 years after, there is no more misunderstanding.. lol

also, it's not only related to THIS specific site, as many urls are not showing properly because of that... (ok, not that much, but...)

deleted... test vbb

I wonder if the reason we had so little vbb questions was because of the vbb => vb parsing ;) We'll see...

[nexialys]

thanks Logician.. i will now be able to give the proper url when displaying one of my demos...
