Hi guys, and thanks for all you do, and for this terrific site!!!

Like the topic title says... If a smiley face BBcode happens to be included within a URL address... the URL address is altered automatically by the TGx site software, and then becomes unusable.

Example:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/mGlBudXli8o?autoplay=1  
(without the spaces) m G l B u d X l i 8 o

but the final (without the spaces)  8 o   gets converted to this: 8o and thus... the link fails.

Only workaround I know (once I'm lucky enough to have discovered my link within the forum topic has failed)
is to have to convert the address using tiny.cc to a tiny url.

AND then the final example of having to do this workaround, today, is here:
https://torrentgalaxy.to/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=518&page=159#post149653

...where you'll note the second youtube link uses the tiny.cc conversion of "tiny.cc/hjl7qz"  to overcome this issue:
Image error

Thank you for your attention, and consideration of this issue! :)

If it's any consolation,  this has been a problem on other forums/sites aswell.

:D I say we blame it...  on Youtube Image error & their  wOnKy  naming of videos Image error
