When someone posts a message containing a URL, a blank space is inserted within it. For example:

http://community.webshots.com/photo/137734710/137741123gePJVT#

becomes this:

http://community.webshots.com/photo/137734710/137741123gePJV T#

making the URL un-clickable. Is there a fix for this?

Even if I edit the message and remove the blank spaces, they still appear in the edited version.

A valid URL cannot contain un-encoded spaces in it, this is not a bug.

The URL is not SUPPOSED to contain a blank space. That blank space seems to be inserted into the message once it is submitted. Here's another example:

http://www.screwtheboss.com/photo/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=31

became this:

http://www.screwtheboss.com/photo/displayimage.php?album=7&a mp;amp;pos=31

The "[/url]" tag gets moved next to the blank space. Could this be come kind of word-wrap thing?
