Ashamed to admit as I work in IT that I can never get links to a retrobike forum topic to work correctly, they have an embedded ampersand character in the URL that cuts the URL off. No mater what I do I can't get it to show the bit after the ampersand. What do I need to do?

Get your URL in the clipboard.
Select the "URL" button in the STW "Post" menu.
Paste in the URL in popup 1, press OK
Type the description you want to associate with the URL in popup 2, press OK.
Done.

Text after ampersand does seem to go missing in the post preview though.
