I see in the last update you added “[Added] Sanitization for better security.” I have been storing affiliate links in the note temporarily and I think that this update might be stripping some characters. Is there a workaround?

Here is an example.
This link
https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=660240&u=261159&m=55884&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eneatoshop%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2FReservoir%2Dbeagles&afftrack=peanuts

becomes this

https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=660240&u=261159&m=55884&urllink=httpswwwneatoshopcomproductReservoirbeagles&afftrack=peanuts

after I save the page.

Hi, yes, lack of link sanitization were a security concern. Encoded link should work just fine. It even works when you try to click it.

We’re not stripping characters but encoding them so they are safe to store. Browsers can process them correctly.

The characters are stripped on my site. I just gave you an example and if you click it, it doesn’t work.
