Message this happened to me earlier today, and just now as I responded to a post
I wanted to reference a post, but when I previewed, the La-Z Link sent
me to the entirely wrong post. Here's exactly what I did. I think I see
where the problem lies, but I don't think it's my fault...

I went to Pages, FAQ, Auto-FAQ.
Scrolled down to
"How to Make a Simple, Cheap Boost Leak Tester - Guapo 11:56:09 09/
03/0"

clicked it, which opens the page
"http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?
forum=technical&msg_id=902104"

highlight the URL, copy.

In the post, I did the usual [ [ L L | (no spaces, obviously) and pasted
the URL, which showed up properly, and closed the brackets ( ] ] )

When I previewed the post, it showed as a lazy link, as it should've, but
when I clicked the lazy link, it sent me to
"http://www.twinturbo.net/net/
viewmsg.aspx?%3Cbr%3Eforum=technical&msg_id=902104"

obviously a SLIGHTLY different URLm opening a post from weingart titled
Racing Hart C2.

Is this problem unique to me? I don't know if it'll do it with regular posts,
but twice today I've tried linking stuff from the Auto-FAQ and it's done
exactly that to me.


as an example, this is the lazy link to
URL
"http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?
forum=technical&msg_id=902104" which is the AutoFAQ, but will link to
the Racing Hart post

just hoping for an explanation...
