remind me to fix the SMF code so that it doesn't break URLs at those damned new-fangled hashbangs.

Look at Firefox's linkify addon.  The link worked just fine for me, so if you can somehow use that on a board wide basis, it'd do the trick.

Thanks. But I just took a look at how SMF does it currently ... and it seems that the current SMF code for auto-linking URLs looks like this ... somewhere in those blue characters on line 2 and 3 should go some exclamation marks and it'll work just fine :)

I bet they'll update the parser in the next SMF update though, since quite a few popular websites use hashbangs in their URLs now (Twitter does, and Google drafted the "standard").

(techno-babble starts here:)

I got a reasonable hunch where they should go (one after each #) but the problem is that the forum-tags parsing code is one of the more security-sensitive (XSS) parts of the SMF code base. And what they're doing is practically black magic (should've used a 3rd party library, parser-generator or at the very least a tokenizer+recursive descent parsing), I hate SMF, really I do.

BTW apprently the SMF-developer team are a bunch of backstabbing bastards to security-minded individuals trying to help them out

I still find it mind boggling like that that people who behave that way manage to keep a job in the computer industry.

Not in a this will wreck the business/how stupid are you type way (there seems to be an unlimited tolerance for that kind of stupidity), I just keep expecting the programmers that know better to form a lynch mob and deal with the problem.

It's just a computer-flavoured example of the shit we rile about every day here.

People are stupid.
