Excuse me? I do not see any errors in that. If you removed the URL tags, that's modifying my modification, and then that's not my fault. If you keep the URL tags in there, it should display just fine. The & string is the correct way to link anything with & in it - it doesn't break anything. Also, there's no reason to not link to the member info - it just makes things easier.

You don't get it. I removed the url-tags, otherwise you won't see that piece of code in my reply. I left it the way it was in the phrase.
Point is, the & is not being parsed. In other words, the link that'll show up in the message or pm will be:
http://www.forum.com/member.php?do=g...p;username=ray instead of http://www.forum.com/member.php?do=getinfo&username=ray

Not clear enough? Here's how it would be on vb.org:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.ph...;username=ray-

Doesn't work, because the "&" isn't parsed.
What does work is:
