I noticed when pasting a wikipedia link containing parenthesis, that the bbcode url tag is not added correctly. The closing tag is before the closing parenthesis, instead of after.

If I paste this link without using the url bbcode tag, it adds them but closes before the closing parenthesis, resulting in a wrong link.

His issue is that the hyperlink created by vBulletin if a user posts a link without using the URL bbcode is broken for wikipedia article links which end with a ).

Okay, so it appears to be a vBulletin issue. Shall I close this thread then ?
