   Hello All,

   i have some problem with text formatting and i hope someone can help me out with this. I am using advertiser links on my WP blogs like this :

   http://www.advertiser.com&refcode=1234

   but wordpress is converting this to

   http://www.advertiser.com & amp; refcode=1234

   or this

   http://www.advertiser.com & #038; refcode=1234

   (without spaces ofcourse)

   so my refcode doesnt get added to the URL and i wont be credited for an evt. sale.

   any idea how to get rid of this ? editing the HTML doesnt solve this as it gets added again. I tried this with and without the WYSIWYG editor enabled.. Hope someone can help me with this.. thank you !

   where is your wordpress blog

   encoding ampersands inside urls is normal and shouldnt break anything.

   This is equivalent:

   http://www.advertiser.com&refcode=1234

   http://www.advertiser.com&refcode=1234

   as far as the browser is concerned.

   the source of the 2 links above:

   http://www.advertiser.com&refcode=1234

   http://www.advertiser.com&refcode=1234

   Notice they go to the same place.
