Why is it on B.net that if you edit or quote a post, spaces get put into the links, thus rendering them broken... It doen't happen always, but quite a high percentage of the time.
Is this a recent phenomenon? I don't remember it occurring before a couple of months ago...

It's been with the site since forever. Making it a low percentage of the time it happens. It's just by coincidence that it's happening to you more often now.

You don't always need to edit for the problem to occur - sometimes it happens when you type out a new post.

And if you think it's bad now, you should have seen how it was in 2003.

It occurs to stop people making huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggge lines of text that break the little post boxes and make the site look stupid. Links just fit into the "big long lines of text" thing, so they get spaces put in them. Just skim through your post and get rid of all the spaces.

But... even using the [link=etc.]TextyText[/link] (yes, I know it's URL =P) thingy, it sticks spaces in.
Ah well, it's not that bad is it: You just have to remember that when you go back to edit a broken link you have to check all the other links in case you break those.
I think I'll start using tinyurl.
