I posted this earlier in another thread, but it may have escaped notice. This is probably something that should be looked at, considering that this is a IDN forum. ;)

See this post (http://www.idnforums.com/forums/49277-post6.html) for a current example of broken redirect links.

In Firefox, the new redirect script seems to be mangling UTF-8 urls, so you should enter PunyCode links (until the redirect script is fixed).

Unfortunately this only happens in the members area.
It's always been like this.
The redirect isn't in place other places.

Ah, I see. Well, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the issue.
