The string that was entered to the "URL" field of a reviewer's profile will be prefixed by "http://" (which is no problem, except for Rebecca or AstroNerdBoy who entered the whole URL string) and postfixed by "/" (which may be a problem when the URL contains a file part, not just a directory part).

But what's definitely killing the feature for Devil Doll is that the "/" in the directory part are URLencoded (i. e. replaced by "%2f"), thus creating a broken (i. e. non-existing) URL.

Ah, fixed that, thanks for pointing that out. Was doing URL encoding instead of HTML encoding. (oops)

Your fix works for the URL field of a reviewer page.

Unfortunately it appears to have a side effect on links at the bottom of anime pages that are now turned into site-local URLs, see Protectors of Universe (Koreanime) and search for "East West DVD".

So apparently the previous mechanism was needed for certain URLs, just not for those on reviewer pages.

The page you reference has a nonurl in it. Try changing the http:/ to http://

Sorry for the false alarm.
