I've seen that before too. Not sure why. Maybe make sure the text is not wrapping to the next line?

You've done everything right. The problem has something to do with the characters in your particular URL. For some reason, the script that converts the URL to a hyperlink is stopping part way through the string. Hopefully T-Man and Co. can figure it out.

It's because of the dash. URL's with some characters in them don't display right on this site, because of the way URL's are parsed in the code.  The site recognises an address when it sees something starting with http:// and it considers that everything between that and either a space, a coma or a dash is a URL. Unfortuately if your address has one of those, the site doesn't consider anything after as part of the URL. Try typing %2D instead of the dash in your address. this link should work: http://www.skinbase.org/gallery.php?uname=I.R.%2DBrainiac

Actually, the problem was the 2nd period, not the dash. Maybe the parsing accept only one dot (for file extension names in URL's) but not two.

Anyway, I replaced the second dot by %2E and it now works.

In other words, I fixed it for you. Should work now.

Nice job, paxx! I didn't even think to try encoding the funny characters.
