john_wilson10 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 <p>I added an alert in a thread in the B&W photography forum. When it was done, it sent me to this page:</p> <p>http://www.photo.net/bboard/add-alert-2.tcl</p> <p>The link that is broken is in the breadcrumb navigation at the top:</p> <p><a href="../community">Community</a> > <a href="../community/forums.tcl">Forums</a> > <a href="q-and-a.tcl?topic=B&W%20Photo%20-%20Film%20&%20Processing">B&W Photo - Film & Processing</a> > <a href="add-alert?topic_id=1541&topic=B%26W+Photo+%2d+Film+%26+Processing">Add Alert</a> > Alert Added</p> <p>I pasted that in, I don't know if the formatting will stick. The "B&W Photo - Film & Processing" breadcrumb link points to this URL:</p> <p>http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=B&W%20Photo%20-%20Film%20&%20Processing</p> <p>But when I go there I get an error message that says</p> <p>"There is no forum with the topic name of <em>B</em> . Either you have mistyped a URL or something is seriously wrong with the photo.net Discussion Forums system."</p> <p>Probably need to escape that ampersand, if I had to take a guess.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 <p>Ampersands in URLs can cause problems. It's safest to replace them with %26 just as spaces should be replaced with %20<br> <br> The correct URL should read <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=B%26W%20Photo%20-%20Film%20%26%20Processing">http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=B%26W%20Photo%20-%20Film%20%26%20Processing</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
