Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, but coding spaces in URLs does not work in the current forums. The nifty little <a> code box in the Post page brings up a little popup where you paste the URL. If this URL has a space in it, the front end of the coding software dutifully replaces the space with “percent 20”, but when you submit the posting, what ends up in the forum is a link missing everything after the space. Even if you directly paste a URL into the forum that is coded with “percent20” (that won’t show up if I use the real characters), what ends up posted is missing the tail part. I would call this a bug in the forum software, because standard URL coding is supposed to handle this. For reference:

Example: This link did not work, so I had to change the name of the remote page to use underscore instead of space:
http://s1018.photobucket.com/albums/af306/mediasponge/The Football (supposed to be Thepercent20Football)
This works because I changed the target:
