Find the following on line 983 of inc_func_common.asp:
						ElseIf UCase(Left(strArray2(0), 6)) = "file:///" Then
Replace it with the following:
						ElseIf UCase(Left(strArray2(0), 8)) = "file:///" Then

Why should users do this Shaggy? What's the bug?
You only provided a fix but no bug.

In the original code, it's checking if the first 6 chracaters from the left of strArray2(0) are equal to file:/// which can never be true as file:/// is 8 characters long so the check should be to see if the first 8 characters from the left of strArray2(0) are equal to file:///

file:///C:\Program%20Files

I'm not having any problems with it here Shaggy. You have an example of it on your forum or somewhere else?

I'll move it to the General DEV Discussions forum until we are sure it's a bug. I'll move it back if it is.

Hmmm ... strange; no example, unfortunately, as I've modified my ReplaceURLs function heavily and removed edit_hrefs altogether - I just spotted it while breezing through a fresh copy of inc_func_common.asp for the "Clipped URLs" topic. Perhaps it's already been fixed here? There's another occurence of it on line 1007, by the way.

Ok so basically you saw the code and figured it looks incorrect. Not that you tested it and found that it doesn't work.

I'll try it on a fresh copy of the code and see if there are any problems. But I doubt it though.

Um ... yeah Logic dictated it shhouldn't work as a 6 character string can't equal an 8 chracter one but if it works, it works and we can pretend like I never mad this post!

Tested it with a clean 3.4.05 version and no problems either.

So I'll change this to not being a bug.

A bug would be something that causes unexpected behaviour. This is just an error that happens to work correctly.

Gah! I'm an idiot! The reason, of course, that it works correctly is thanks to the final part of that if statement which parses any URIs that don't match any of the other clauses in the if statement. Which makes me wonder whether all those elseifs are really necessary; could we not do away with all those checks excepting the ones for [img] and @?
