found a kinda "bug"

if someone types a URL link to something that coincendently has a "/ me " in it...
it messes up the link.

for example: someone on my board tried to post:

http://media.putfile.com/Bike-Stunt43

and it keep producing this when the link was clicked:

http://www.mysite.com/<b>*%20Liz?dKingdia.putfile.com/Bike-Stunt43

where "<b>*%20Liz?dKing" was his forum name


it is possible to fix this so that the /me function is disabled when inside a link/url?

Any suggestions / clues ?

For me, everything with this hack works perfectly (including quoting) *except* attempting to post a message with URL's such as: http://media.putfile.com/Bike-Stunt43

The moment I do that, and try to submit a post (with or without wrapping it with (url) tags (yes i know they should be square ones lol) it renders the thread completely broken and I cannot read it again.. So I'm deactivating for now...

installed and working on 3.5.0

url thing, Alien, is what I posted above....

solutoin:
---"/me" function is disabled when inside a link/url
---or just avoid url with "/me" in them.

Works for me so far on 3.5.0 Gold. Nice work.

Should work

That didn't work for me. Now a space is missing between the username and the next word... and it's still mucking up the username on the quote to whoever is quoting instead of who's being quoted.

...and how would one disable the /me function inside links/urls?

Had to disabled / uninstall for now because of the URL problem
