Unfortunately StrangeJ and I did not figure out how to duplicate the broken behavior of the forum link system. It's kind of weird that it's easier to make it work properly than it is to get the results we see when we post the link. I suppose a future update of Preview Posts could seek to duplicate the forum behavior exactly, although I'd need some serious testing to be done to know exactly what that behavior is. |

Sponsor | | rumisong | Oct 10, 2007 7:03am | hey T, thanks ... can you tell me what the %_ _ sort of code is called, so I can look up for a chart on the net and get me a replacement for the asterisk ... or, is that not how to fix my link problem? Do I have this wrong?
I just want to post a link with an asterisk in it, and the forums Im trying this in, are not letting me ... thats the real thing Im hoping for help with .. |

Sponsor | | rumisong | Oct 10, 2007 8:10am | ASCII TABLE!!
yes, thank you ... thats what I needed - so I just plug in %2a, and that works ...
q=%22what%20%2a%20world%22
so that is called "ascii code" then or something? when we use the % in a url like that? Ive not learned anything about this till now ...
thanks danlo - thats just the ticket!

Sponsor | | konradc | Oct 10, 2007 8:13am | Although they are related, it is not the ASCII table. The URL encoding is directly based on the US ASCII table (for now, I think we're moving more towards UTF). The 2 hexadecimal characters following the % sign is the number of the character in the US ASCII table.
P.S. "*" does not need to be escaped, but can be. See RFC 2396 the "safe" stuff are in section 2.3
Interpretation: alphanumeric and - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) do not need to be, but can be coded.
You can find the US ASCII table on Wikipedia. |

Sponsor | | rumisong | Oct 10, 2007 8:22am | "Unreserved characters can be escaped without changing the semantics of the URI, but this should not be done unless the URI is being used in a context that does not allow the unescaped character to appear."
"escaped" - coolness ... Ive learned something new today - thats always fun - yes, I see what they are doing there now ...
thanks again all ... |

Speed up Firefox without Re-Installation
Problem: You cannot imagine life without Firefox but over time, your favorite browser keeps getting slower and slower.
Not only is it slow, Firefox sometimes hangs for no reason, consumes a large amount of memory and CPU usage can climb to 90% or more when you have multiple tabs open simultaneously.
You have uninstalled most of the extensions and toolbars, deleted all the cookies and internet temporary files, cleared up the file download queue and disabled the background check for software updates - but none of this has helped you speed-up Firefox.
Solution: This is a common problem especially if you have been running Firefox for some time - I don't know why Firefox slows down but here's a small trick to rejuvenate the aged copy of Firefox without doing a fresh install.
Step 1: Start Firefox and export your bookmarks as a file on your hard-drive (we'll need them later).
