FYI: Forum Bug report

[narfi]

When typing in a link to a page ending with an ')' the link is broken and the ')' is in black text after the link.

example:
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?206135-Dragon-Armor-Plates(L)

As there are lots of threads ending in (L) on this forum, its a fairly significant bug. (though im sure there is a logical coding reason its there)

Actually the links still work even if certain special characters (which normally are not allowed in a properly formed URL) are cut off, as you can see by clicking the sample link you provided.

The forum only uses the showthread.php?####### portion for locating the desired thread; the thread title keywords after that portion exist mainly for search engine optimization purposes, not navigation.
