Tildes in Image Forum Posts

This question is answered

Our customers are having an issue where if they post an image that has a tilde in the URL source, the source gets stripped out of the image tag by the RTE.  Is there a way to allow the tilde in the source of an image tag in the forums?

We are using Community 6.

  • It works fine in 5.6 but I tested myself and see the issue in 6.x. The same thing happens for links. I am adding a bug for this. I don't know of a workaround at this point. Please follow up with our support team for further information and to request a hotfix.

  • I just ran a test to see if I could do it in the Telligent forums and it does not appear that I can either.  The image source gets stripped out here as well.

    Image should be below:

    Here is the URL of the image that is causing problems. Note the tilde in the url.
