 * my blog-url is:
    [http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0404420/php/index.php](http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0404420/php/index.php)
 * Now I’ve got the problem, that I cant add Pictures with the regular blog-editor(
   which means I cant just drag&drop them to the editor after I uploaded them) because
   after saving it the Editor changes the code of the URL:
    When I drag it into 
   the windwo the correct code is:
 * [http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/%7Ea0404420/php/wp-content/112_1201.thumbnail.jpg](http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/%7Ea0404420/php/wp-content/112_1201.thumbnail.jpg)
 * %7E must be the code for ~, but it works fine.. The problem is, after saving 
   it changes the url somehow to
 * [http://www.unet.univie.ac.at%7ea0404420/%7Ea0404420/php/wp-content/112_1201.thumbnail.jpg](http://www.unet.univie.ac.at%7ea0404420/%7Ea0404420/php/wp-content/112_1201.thumbnail.jpg)
 * Which of course breaks the link. Where does that second %&ea0404420 come from??
   Which part changes it, why, and how I can stop it.
 * Problem is, that not just experienced users, who can change-back the html-code
   directly, are going to use the blog, so I really should find a way to fix it!
 * thanks for answering!
