The space in the URL title is due to wrapping (setting who's value you can control). This is intended to prevent the page from being stretched by overly long strings.

Ilia... I turned off wrapping to fix this...

... Instead of adding a space at the line break, how about giving a visual that the link is too long to display -- something like:

http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=post&reply_to=19500&quo...

When newbies (and some advanced users) copy and paste a link with a space in their browser and get an error, I'm often blitzed with customer service emails about a bad link.

Of course if the idiots would just click the link, it wouldn't matter, right Razz

While I think adding elipses (...) isn't the best solution, it's probably better than a space.

Any thoughts?
