The problem is announced here

Example:









The link is thishttp://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u426/Ydjm/Ydjm%20Animate/name.gif
When you put it in the avatar through url it's rewritten as  http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u426/Ydjm/YdjmAnimate/name.gif


Is there a way to fix this without me having to rename the album?

Funky, and it's like this even if you reupload? I also guess it only happens to images in that specific folder right? Which means everything in there is rewritten when uploaded?

The links do work, but the forum actively rewrites any spaces. (Not the links in the example, they don't exist)
The links work fine in the forum, it's just placing the link in the "specify avatar by url" area (as far as I know)

If I reupload, it'll still happen because it's the album name that breaks, not the file. It a really big problem because I have a bunch of links in an album and if I change the name, I have to rewrite every single one since every link breaks from the renaming. And that also means all links in past posts are also broken. :c

Weird. Wish I could help you with that problem but I don't have experience in that field very much. >_<'

Hopefully a mod or a GM passes by and get's your problem solved.

Actually, the %20 is the URL encoded form of a space, since you can't have spaces in a URL.
When you put it in the avatar field it seems to just omit that.

It should work to just replace the %20 with a space again, so just type in

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u426/Ydjm/Ydjm Animate/name.gif

and it should work.
I'd generally try to avoid having spaces in any names in the first place, since such (and other) problems tend to arise from that.

I already know its a space >.< and when I made the album, I didn't think about sharing links. I just used it for storage. Things changed though
Checked your solution. It works :D
Thanks
((I've learned something new about links 8)))
