bad link when simply pasting an url into a post

Using Jamroom


Right now I'm not able to replicate, so am not sure what to recommend.

Are you pasting this into the editor?

Edit: just tested here and don't see any issues.

Do you have any browser plugins that might be messing with your clipboard?

Here's google pasted after a space:

test https://www.google.com/

Just to be sure, this is not a Jamroom issue - it has nothing really to do with Jamroom - it's just characters that cannot be represented in the encoding you are using on your site (i..e UTF8).

No - the "diamond thing" are hidden characters. When you are "cutting" from the site, you are pulling these characters into your clipboard along with the URL.

There's a LOT of URLs on that site. Can you post me the URL to the page where you were cutting and pasting from?

Because I copied the URL from your paste here, and make sure to get just the URL.

What is the URL to the site you are coping from?

URL Scanner - is 'https' an issue?

Using Jamroom

Thanks for the report - I see this here as well and will get it fixed up.

Thanks!

You have some funky characters that you are including in your URL when cutting and pasting - even though you can't see them, they are there at the beginning of the URL. If I take your same URL and cut and paste it here:

test: http://everythingdulcimer.com/discuss/search.php?search_id=newposts

You'll see there's no "diamonds". Whenever you see those "diamonds" what that means is there is a character (or characters) that cannot be represented in the current page encoding, and so the browser shows you those symbols to let you know it is there. That is coming from the site you are cutting from.

Let me know if that helps.

Payments module is now in the alpha channel

yeah this is one of those modules where since we already have something in place, it gets a fairly low priority. However I actually did quite a bit of work on this over the last week as I'd like to get it done, so should have a new release fairly soon.
