Is there any way we can get around the issue vBulletin is having with converting percent signs into the HTML equivalent of "%" when posting?

Just trying a space between to see if it works... 10 %

Its not consistent - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I've been waiting for a couple things to get fixed before I upgrade (to include your strike through) but I'm so pissed at VB right now I may change to a different forum altogether.

Sounds awesome bossman. From what I've heard, VB can be a real pain in the rear to get support for. Thanks for the work you do.

The software is good (current version 3.8x) but the new company that bought VB 18 months ago has turned out a buggy next version (4.x). That and combined with the customer and community service skills of somewhere between the DMV and the Gestapo, I'm ready for a better alternative. It is just a BIG AZZED change I don't necessarily want to make.

You adapt pretty quickly to just spelling it. That works 100 percent of the time. :)

this usually messes it up john- a space in the url turns into percent20 when it's cut n pasted.

Casting Eggs (http://www.#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.com/casting%20eggs.htm)

works!
