Topic: Problem when using square brackets in links

Links with square brackets do not get fully converted to clickable URLs (the link stops at the square bracket) and links done with the [ url] tag that contain a square bracket do not get converted at all.

Re: Problem when using square brackets in links

Cheers, Smartys, just encountered the same problem myself.

I love this forum - I don't exactly post a lot, but I'm always popping in, reading and (I hope) learning - guessed that if I did a search here there'd be an answer, what some of you guys don't know isn't worth knowing!
