Today I posted a problem at http://gallery.menalto.com/node/46558 with a few links toward screenshots and code. Casually grepping through my logs to see if anyone gave my problem a look I noticed a few 404. I checked my links and they were correct. Looking at my logs I saw that all entries producing a 404 were queries ending with "<strong%20class=". The referers were such as http://gallery.menalto.com/node/46558?highlight=Links%2Cin%2CG2.0 so I soon found the culprit : the forum's search highlighting function. As you can see the search highlighting breaks links. This is not a critical problem by any measure, but I thought it was worth reporting.

this sounded so familiar, i was sure we had fixed it... after looking around I finally found this... we fixed it in G2, not for our website :)
i'll add a task to remind us of this problem, thanks.
