    Links for myspace not working

    I am trying to insert a myspace profile url and for some reason it is changing the & in the link and making it a &.

    Here is the url I want:
    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...iendid=6248586

    Here is what I am getting after clicking it in the story:
    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...er.viewprofile&friendid=6248586

    Why is it adding that? How do I fix it?

    Is the first URL supposed to take me to a members page? Because all that I get when I click on the first URL you posted is the main page to myspace.com

    can you use the code tags on the forum and show me a link that doesn't work so I can test with it?

    I tested the latest svn version of the code with the following url
    Code:
    http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=153061168&albumID=0&imageID=1829056493
    and it worked fine. Let me know if that was the wrong URL to test with. it uses mutliple ampersands (&) and it still works fine. And yes, that's a picture of me (sexy, huh? :P )

    This is what is happening.

    I am inputting the url that looks like the first one here. That one works. After submitting the story when you click the url it is giving me the second one that is changing the & to & - This url doesn't work.


    PHP Code:
    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=6248586 
    PHP Code:
    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=6248586 
    I hope this helps to figure it out.
