CT adding "_" into URL then removing it

Hi there,

Not sure if you are aware of this bug. It's been present for a while now and I have been meaning to tell you about it.

Basically when an article or news story is created sometimes CT will inject "_" into the url link. If this the article/news story is linked to a forum thread from creation this means the url has a "_" within it. If the article/news story is then edited at another time the "_" is removed and so the link within the forum thread takes you to "Article does not exist".

It becomes increasingly annoying if you link in other places and then happen to edit the article at a later stage as the link then becomes incorrect.

Any ideas how we can resolve this? There have been over 15 articles posted in the last few days on our site and this is happening quite frequently!

Thanks

Indeed, this also happens in news too. So news and articles.

I assume in the articles/reviews module? I will look into it.

It most regularly happens when a "-" is in the article title/url. But it has happened with other articles without "-" too.

No this is all automatic, we do not set the URL ourselves!

At the end of the SEO URL?

If this the article/news story is linked to a forum thread from creation this means the url has a "_" within it. If the article/news story is then edited at another time the "_" is removed and so the link within the forum thread takes you to "Article does not exist".

Are you manually changing the SEO URL or happend this automatically?
