I was posting this topic.... http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13967 and when i was previewing my post that is adding variables, the + signs were not visible. I noticed that if you preview any post, the + signs are not visible.
Yes, that is because the message is escaped before it's put in a cookie. It's then called from the cookie by pop_preview.asp.
When a string is escaped all spaces become + signs. Then when it's redisplayed, the plus signs are converted back into spaces (thus your + signs are converted to spaces).
