Underscores in links broken  

Trying to post a wikipedia article with multiple underscores in it fails, as it's taken as a hint to make the enclosed text italicised. I can't tell if this is a new change or I've been posting dodgy links all along.

Hi snik, The best way to post a link in the forums is to use < your link >. This should solve your problem. If you continue to experience difficulties or have questions let us know.

Seems to work if you actually "activate" the link as per Zahira's suggestion - otherwise the markdown processor interprets encapsulation in underscores to mean italics

Basically: <http://wikipedia.org/wiki/test_test_test_test>
