  I noticed that bbPress seems to have difficulties with URLs containing “??”. It’s usually some CSS or script files referenced in the HTML header I’m trying to reference during support in the german forums. Take this one for example:

  Hiya Martin,

  Have you tried using the Link tag in conjunction with such links to see if that overcomes the double question mark issue? Let me know if that solves it or if it is still a problem!

  Ok, this seems to work. :)

  Note to self: Mustn’t forget to add a link tag to all links in case it contains two question marks.

  Cheers

  You’re welcome.

  On the other hand I think this is still a bug with bbPress as it formats URLs, containing two question marks, the wrong way. ;)
