long html links break when posting

Yes it does not seem to matter what we do - post a raw URL or a TinyURL our use a code insert it gets this great garble of code.

i jusrt tried posting a raw URL and it worked this time. I'll post back here next time it does it again.

Its bloody annoying and you'd wonder how a large IT company like intensedebate owned by wordpress could be having this happen?

Having similar problems with urls on my site breaking when posting.

Yepper, its the longer html links that seem to do this.

Please fix this problem. It looks super bad. Here is another entry I did two days ago, and more broken links appear posted by my readers:

(Is there a way to edit the posts of others and try to fix the broken links?)

Hey Guys,

Any Idea what you have to do to get a response out of the Intensedebate people. The support seems to be non existant. I've posted two problems now and also used the help section but still no response.

If I don't have some resolution to these issues in the next 24 hours I'm removing it from my site.

This is becoming a very unsatisfactory experience.

G'day dBO,

What are we dealing with here, are they just a small start up with no staff. Although I'm amused by the message at the top.
5 IntenseDebate employees are ready to listen and respond.

I suppose it does not actually say when - they will respond.

Maybe they are a bit overrun with bug fix requests. Other than that these guys have a really nice product, and it's easy to poke at bugs which stand out. I just hope they'll fix this, as it really looks ugly (and discouraging) when comment links break ... I know they will!!!! :)

Another broken link today and I can't do anything about it:(
Looks so unprofessional.

Really really really annoying.
Any status on fixing this?

From these examples the issue seems to be more around improperly formatted links and, on occasion, mistakes in link parsing, but not from any url length limitation.

I'll take a look at the parsing functions, but many of these are just typo's or improper url's.

Jon, this is definitely not a user error. I've tested it quite a bit.

Jon, if you look at the links I submitted earlier:

http://wireframes.linowski.ca/?p=220
http://wireframes.linowski.ca/?p=64#r...
http://wireframes.linowski.ca/?p=319#...

... it looks like on MANY occasions the formatting by different users has gone incorrect. Even if a user mistyped an url (by perhaps not leaving a space between the " and the target= attribute) I believe it should be corrected automatically on your end. But I doubt that it is the users fault as it occured a number of times by different users. More so this looks REALLY bad.

Please help fixing this.

I'm getting a resurgence of this issue but in a somewhat different way. The links are again mangled and appear in the form of http://dbzer0.com/blog/%5C/%5C/getsat...

See example here. I've had this happen 4 times now

Problem persists. The only way to make a link now is to edit the comment after posting to fix the broken url in the html code

Problem seems to be fixed by the bugfix pushed from here. I guess you can mark the problem as solved

Glad to hear it worked.

Update: Unfortunately it seems it didn't. I've seen the problem again both on my blog and the IDC blog as well.

Can we please fix this?

This should be fixed now (again).

Sorry for the trouble.
