The forum didn't detect ")" in URL links.

[Despairo]

I crossed a post that has close parenthesis symbol aka ")" in URL links, specifically it's related to Bisq. I thought the forum ban this link, but after I made some research to find other URL link with close parenthesis symbol, the results is same https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conda_(package_manager)

2. Face to face trade aka direct peer to peer, just like what stated on bisq https://bisq.wiki/Face-to-face_(payment_method)

The forum do detect the URL link if we encode the close parenthesis symbol and it's working fine.

Is this a bug?

It's probably a bug. But you can hide the link and then it works.

You mean link with parenthesis are ban here? Or just bisq url?

I don't think its a bug, it depends on the machine software used by the forum if those symbol can be used for URLs or they will be automatically encoded, i experienced this while developing websites.

It's just an ambiguity in the algorithm that determines what characters are or are not part of the URL; presumably it was expected that the more likely case would be a URL completely enclosed in parentheses, with the parentheses not being part of the URL itself (such as https://example.com).

You can avoid this by not relying on autodetection of URLs and instead manually using the [url][/url] tags.

Foxpup is right. There's a pair of regexes that the auto-linker uses (the below are from 1.1.19):

'~(?<=[\s>\.(;\'"]|^)((?:http|https|ftp|ftps)://[\w\-_%@:|]+(?:\.[\w\-_%]+)*(?::\d+)?(?:/[\w\-_\~%\.@,\?&;=#(){}+:\'\\\\]*)*[/\w\-_\~%@\?;=#}\\\\])~i'

'~(?<=[\s>(\'<]|^)(www(?:\.[\w\-_]+)+(?::\d+)?(?:/[\w\-_\~%\.@,\?&;=#(){}+:\'\\\\]*)*[/\w\-_\~%@\?;=#}\\\\])~i'

If a piece near the end of each one were changed from #} to #)} then (I think) it would work in the way OP expected (but then, as Foxpup pointed out, enclosing URLs in parentheses would break).
