Yep. Maybe Gator?
Or Bonzai Buddy, or that damn thing that comes with WeatherBug, or, or . . . . There's tons of them.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Auto-link editing apparently can't handle embedded spaces and quotation marks. See
for an example.

I just got this error message when trying to post in Bitches:

I don't understand Betsy. What can't you do?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
What can't you do?
If you look at the link in Deborah's post, it ends with /Marta's_Journal.html, but if you mouseover and look at the page it actually links to, it ends in /Marta. The code that automatically converts a URL into a link cuts it off at the apostrophe.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
IIRC, at some point this was discussed and it was considered that URLs didn't have apostrophes in them. Back in this thread quite some way. Would that be what's causing this problem?

Thanks Hil. Since when are apostrophes allowed in URLs? I'm going to be a snob and say that our code is fine; the URL should change. I dislike spaces in URLs too. Those %20's drive me nuts.

I've certainly never seen a URL with an apostrophe in it before, but I'm too zonked to go check the standard.

Thanks for the research Betsy. I still don't like 'em because they're going to cause trouble in places. Not just here. Why take the chance?
