Summary0000098: Ampersand (&) in CReqs
DescriptionI copy-pasted a link from Firefox' URL toolbar as a comment to a moderator for a CReq, but the ampersand (&) didn't come out right. Another symbol appeared instead, and had to be changed manually... Ampersand appears correctly in messages sent to users though...
TagsNo tags attached.

hmmm it really looked like a Thai character. :)
kinda like a curved L with a dot.... doesn't really help, eh?

Is the font defined in a different way in the CReq?

it's the same sign but it looks a bit weird though, not really a bug.

After the word img91 there's the weird symbol

It happens if I copy-paste the following link (http://img78.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img78&image=anidbcreq1mf.jpg ) from imageshack.us into the CReq

which browser are you using and what's the language of your os and browser?
this issue is probably client related and not an anidb bug.

Sorry exp, I confirm this, XP SP1, jap locale, english IME.
The '&image' in imageshack links gets converted by the anidb message system to ℑ - try sending me this link:
http://img78.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img78&image=anidbcreq1mf.jpg
Via message, either subject or body, then look at in in your sent box.

hey Rar how about you send such a link to a mod trough that thing... and so that the mod can test if it works or not (the link that is)

just checked.
here is the html code generated by anidb.

<tr>
        <td valign="top"> Body: </td>
        <td valign="top"> test msg

http://img78.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img78&image=anidbcreq1mf.jpg

 </td>
</tr>

the problem is the browser which displays the link.
anidb does not do any strange replacements.

however, i guess it might be a good idea to encode & as &

Oh, the issue wasn't that anidb changed the string somehow, but rather that by not escaping & < and > all sorts of interesting errors can occur. I'd have thought that your (opera?) had the same behaviour as firefox on this front, but perhaps not.
At any rate, a one-time:
& to &
< to <
> to >
when a message is sent should prevent any of these weird errors again.
