Is there a problem with the way the system is dealing with links?

I've been having what seems to be a steadily increasing number of dead links both in original posts and at the "discuss" tab in journal entries.

Here is an example of what is happening at the journal.

I don't have a ready example of the problem with links going off site, but when I've noticed the problem, it seems that the end of some URLs is getting changed by the addition of a space before the last element of the link. It isn't happening frequently as far as I know, but I don't follow my own links all that often either.

Finally, I've noticed that URLs are including both semi-colons and apostrophes and DU's system breaking the link at that point. I've not been aware of the use of those characters in URLs, so I assumed it was something new, but perhaps there is a connection between all three problems?

1. Huh. Looks like a glitch.

Sorry about that. I will bring it to Elad's attention.
