Often, if i click on an url enclosed in parens (http://www.cnn.com) the url includes the trailing paren, and leads to a 404 error.

thx for the heads up. Does the same thing happen leaving a space after the end of the url ie: ( http://www.cnn.com ) ... no but there is a trailing '/'.

So if you do something like this ( http://www.cnn.com/ ) does this cause a problem? (no)

Ahh, I didn't see that link. Consequently, this posting should be deleted.
