I seem to be noticing more and more quirks in the software being used by TLF. Must try posting less.
Just noticed that the ordinary 'dash' seems to bust the LMF url quote system ([url][/url])
There is a literal for 'dash' but I'm too lazy to check it out...

But then the url quote seems to be unnecessary now (ignoring the dash):

No quotes used in the above.

Re: Quirks
Probably.
I've come across this before - possibly wrt the same subject - and used html literals to get over the problem. But I was surprised that they seemed to manage to knock out the LF url quotes. Also, do we now not need the URL quotes for an active link?

Yes, same or similar at TMF. Standard problem. I've never learnt the literals (in this case %96) and use http://preview.tinyurl.com/zfy2wkd instead.

No, as above.

Well, unless you want to make a prettier link to the Dunning-Kruger effect

Erm, isn't that dash a hyphen? It's perfectly valid in the URL cited.
Maybe you had in mind the underscore, which is also perfectly valid where it is, though not allowed in a domain name.
