Links arrive broken

[Don Reba]

Most links I receive have random characters, symbols, and numbers replaced by question marks, like this: "amk-t?am?r?/forum/index.php?showtopic=11846". What could be the cause?

All other text gets through fine.

This is using ICQ. I have not tried another protocol.

which results in:

g??-gam?.ru/main.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr&thm_p age=1&thm_id=13302&sec_id=8

The link should have started with "http://www.gsc-game.ru".


I don't have a similar problem in any other program. I don't use a separate firewall. Uninstalling the antivirus did not help.

Well, the problem is on the other side. you see exactly what was sent.

So, there is something outside of Miranda that affects only Miranda and only the links in messages? That does not sound like something that could happen, but assuming it could, do you know how I could find out what it is?

[borkra]

Or in other person client. You have displayed exactly what was received.

[Don Reba]

Alright. Thanks.
