[fixed] Ampersand Bug

[Steve Machol]

Post a link with an ampersand adds a 'amp;' after the &:

Even if I try to edit it out, it comes back again.

Edit: It did it in the message as well.

It's annoying to try and make something clear when the bug itself prevents you from being able to display it the way you mean to, eh? ;)

I just noticed the bug when someone posted a link to "Post #30 in this thread" and that post itself was quoted and suddenly the link was different (& -> & ). :)

Edit: It did it in the message as well. Try switching to the non-wysiwyg editor and see if the same thing happens... I'm thinking it's a WYSIWYG-only problem at the moment..

Edit: You're right. This is a WYSIWYG bug.

This may be related... If you enclose an ampersand with parenthesis' the result is below. This happens with both the Standard and WYSIWYG editor.
