Is it what's messing with the URLs I take the trouble to specify? I do wish that would stop.

For instance in topic Mouse Arrow Mystery Solved:

I go to the trouble of carefully crafting a readable:

===

Topic How your mouse arrow really works..

===

Yet when I go to edit that, I see my effort gone:

===

Topic [url]http://www.bautforum.com/off-topic-babbling/61565-how-your-mouse-arrow-really-works.html[/url]

===

And if I submitted, I think the URL would become unreadable. No. Just tried it. The URL stayed elegant. But the preview looked horribly wrong. You can't trust the preview. Yuck.
