I was messing around with my Art Commissions thread, and I noticed that, whenever I tried to make one of those custom URL links or whatever, the last link on the post would be broken and say [TEMPLINKREPLACE]*insert word here*[/url]

I've had this happen a few times before, and often it's because I'd messed up something earlier in the post. You might want to double check that all the images have [/img] or [/url] at the end, that they definitely have the slash at the end, that the tags match (no starting with img and ending with url), etc. If any of them aren't done properly, it can cause problems down the line.

If it's not that, then I don't know. But it's worth a look.

I checked the the other links real quick, and they seem fine. I just slapped a random link at the end of the post (the broken one) and turned it white. Not a great solution, but it works.

It's always due to incorrect link placement. missing letter/bracket, too many of one tag etc. Worse case, you redo all of your links in that post and it will probably go away.
I think it also goes funny if you link the same pet with different images or vice versa (something like that, could've just messed up some links)

Too many of one tag? Like having too many links of the same kind?

No, like having [ /url ] [ /url ] in a row, though generally that just gives the link and then the text of the end tag.
I'm just thinking of ways it would screw up really

It can either happen from an open ended link (user error), in which case just gotta find the broken tags.

Or it can happen if you use multiple custom links to the same destination URL. This is just a logical error w/ how it parses links, but there is a way to get around it.

For example, if you have these two links:

[ url=www.sylestia.com]My Link[ /url]
[ url=www.sylestia.com]My Link 2[ /url]


This will break it.

However, here's how you can fix it:

[ url=www.sylestia.com#1]My Link[ /url]
[ url=www.sylestia.com#2]My Link 2[ /url]

I'm pretty sure it's working now. Thanks!
