New inline keyword text advertising BUG with URLs.

    Hey fellow DPers,

    Looks like there's a bug with the inline text advertising. When a keyword already is meant to have a URL

    Like if I said <anchor tag href="stuff">Download</end anchor tag>, it would be replaced by the ad.

    The word Download for instance. When I say the word Download it presents it as an inline text ad. If the text is already meant to be a link (I make it an anchor), then my URL is rewritten with the advertising URL instead.

    A sample of the issue can be found on this thread:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1466543

    Try clicking the 'Download' text.

    When I view the source, I see this:

    <a href="http://www.zinruss.com/themes/download-manager.php?id=610" target="_blank"><b></b></a><b>
    <a href="http://ads.digitalpoint.com/go.php?k=Download" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Download</a></b

    Looks as though the anchor tag link to the download manager is programatically replaced with the ad.

    Hmmmm... obviously that's not the intended way for it to work. Going to go digging on the regular expression being used for the insertion.

    It should be working properly and ignoring text within links now.
