Improperly Escaped-out Octothorpes (Pound Signs) in Refer Log Links

Christian Crumlish

When clicking a referer log entry from a Salon Blogs named anchor link indicating a specific article that day (such as this one from my log today), the octothorpe (hash mark) is escaped out as %23, leading to an error when I try to click on it.

My impression yesterday was that this didn't happen with URLs on the Weblogs.com community server, so I wonder if this is an easily fixable implementation issue?

Google still working fine: Ev says the whole I'm the first Bruce on Google phenomenon isn't really a good test of whether it's working. Now, if you go to Google and type Robb's Law an click the I Feel Lucky button, you'll see that Google is on top of things.... (Memes)
Decisions, decisions: OK, I went for the Plus level and a year’s service. I’m still hoping to change the root URL and I’ll probably wipe the other two blogs I created for experimental purposes because I’ll only be getting three here with that level of service.... (Typepad)
