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.

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