    I help look after a site which is run on a contact management system. We used to have our menus without spaces between the words which I got changed...

    and it seems the CMS wants to use the menu names in the url - well that should be great SEO but...

    Both links work so you then have the duplicate page problem but that's nothing compared to a 404 problem. Interestingly Mozilla puts the %20 into the url but ie leaves it as is.

    Should I be complaining about this?

    Spaces are NOT good in url's..

    At least try to use , any character, if not - (hyphen)
