Problem creating an email link to an email address that begins with the letter 'o'

[oLLie]

If I try to create an email link to my email: ollie(at)socal(dot)rr(dot)com it screws it up.

test

The workaround I had to do was put a space before the 'o' when I create the email link. That way it breaks up the ':' from "mailto:" and the 'o' from my email address.

Ok. It seems a similar thing happened when I tried to create a link in my signature. The very first time I create the email link, it correctly points to ollie(at)socal(dot)rr(dot)com, however, if I edit the post or edit my signature, it adds a "mailto:" right before the actual address. Am I making sense?


test email link (I just hit edit, but did not change anything in the post, and now this email link no longer works right)

this link works as long as I don't click edit again

I guess it looks like the problem is that an extra "mailto:" is added whenever Edit is clicked, or Update for profile.
Also, I assume that this problem does not only exist for email addresses beginning with 'o', but for those beginning with any letter or character that would turn into an emoticon if preceded by a colon (like the colon in "mailto:").

I think it's because there is a : and an o right next to each other and FuseTalk is trying to make that into 😱

There were issues similiar to this when FuseTalk 4 was in beta. Whenever you would edit a post the software would reparse everything.

Try editing your post and see if it still works. Or just quote it.

Here ya go

You have to turn off parsing the emoticons. Look for the checkbox that says Do not parse Emoticons. Check it on the post, and every edit.

What if you want emoticons in your post? Also, don't forget that you can't select Do not parse Emoticons when you're putting it into your sig.

Another workaround: instead of putting a space before the 'o', just try to remember to delete 'mailto:' each time you edit a post, (or even quote a post I guess), or view/edit your profile.
