Hey, MP:
LONG ANSWER
The reason that the link doesn't work is because vBulletin replaces special ASCII characters with their
HTML character codes so that the special ASCII character displays correctly. Specifically, it converts the
ampersand to the equivalent
HTML character codes and,
as an unintended consequence, breaks the link by changing the URL that your web browser sends to the
www.sudco.com web server when it tries to retrieve/display the image. (
To see how vBulletin has mangled the original URL, select View -> Page Source from your browser's menu. You can find the HTML quickly by selecting Edit -> Find from the viewer's menu and searching for the word "editor".)
SHORT ANSWER
Use the "Insert Image" icon in the message composer (
i.e., the little icon that looks like a post card with two mountains) and vBulletin
should leave it alone.
