Character sensitive problem in message

Hi, In a Guestbook that I moderate, someone posted a message with the following url.

or at least that is what they intended. What was actually seen was,

hE

Note the space before the 'hE' at the end of the url.

I wrote a message with the correct url and to my astonishment, my message also had,

hE

I copied the current list.php from the server and looked at the contents; the space is there. This means it is getting written incorrectly rather than listed incorrectly.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks, Norman

Hi, The following worked as a url without getting any space in it.

I had a look at some of the code modules and found the issue in add.php.

Long messages are broken up into 40 character chunks so that explains why the Guestbook had,

hE

40 characters then a space followed by two more characters :roll:

I am glad that I have manage to crack it.

Thanks, Norman

That's exactly right. There is a maximum word length setting in effect which limits the length of each word. To avoid having this you could either increase the maximum length from 40 to a higher number, or wait until we implement the URL UBB Code in version 1.8h which will fix this issue.
