FFS, One Day Off Isn't That Bad

Original link missing a ) perhaps?

Don't know what the deal is? Links from the URL put not on the paste. (oh well I'm not going to lose sleep).

What!? So he's paid god knows how many millions of pounds \ dollars a year, with shares and bonuses no doubt, puts up a tulipe performance in front of a senate committtee, doesnt know when the oil will stop gushing out of thesea floor and he's supposed to be allowed a day off!?

**** that. He should be working 24/7 until the ******* thing is fixed.

There are other people who work for BP, you know. If Tony Hayward chucks a sickie or goes canoeing then they can carry on making oil while he's away. It's not all about him.

I went sailing when I worked there, although that was a few years back. Will I still be allowed to go to Disneyland?

Only the Paris one. And to be on the safe side I'd stay away from the water rides.

I dunno. They are always telling us that oily fish is good for us, yet when somebody gives us some oily fish we complain.

I think that's a feature of the board software, it did it to one of my links too.

Feature! Yes, that would be the word!

Has Obama taken a day off? As president with the oil crisis and troops in Iraq I would expect him to work full time for the entire length of his presidency!

Yep. Obama was playing golf.

Obama, who celebrated a quiet Father's Day at the White House yesterday, spent four hours on the links with Vice President Biden on Saturday.

I've witnessed this too. When quoting links with punctuation characters (only really seen on Wiki) putting the URL in double quotes gets round this.

Can somebody give me steps to reproduce this one? I can't get it to break like that either with or without the WYSIWYGish editor

Hang on, let me fire up Windows and try it on IE...

Ahah, it only happens when you put the URL in as plain text, so it must be in the URL-detection code. I'll see if it's already in vBulletin's bug tracker, and if not, report it

That worked in Safari 5 and I deliberately used the brackets rather than %28 and %29.

I'm pretty sure that some previous version of Safari caused it to cack on the trailing bracket. I've seen this on another vBulletin forum as well, not just CUK.
