James, Not sure if you know about this minor issue. Say you want to insert a link to a website where the URL includes some escaped characters. E.g. if I do a google search for "LiquidEyes is a pedantic git" the resulting URL is LiquidEyes+is+a+pedantic+git"" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="LiquidEyes+is+a+pedantic+git"(not the inverted commas are changed into the escape sequence ") Now if I cut and paste that as a URL inside my post, the link works fine on the "preview" screen, but once I submit the post the link gets cocked up! If I try to edit the post afterwards, the " has been converted back to inverted commas. Not a big problem, but presumably it means you can't link to any site where the URL contains escaped characters...?
