Hi everyone, Over on our forum we have a issue where when a URL is oneboxed it changes the actual URL itself. As a example: This is a link to our website: https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/genetic-calculator/?s1=Pastel%2CHet+Clown&s2=Pastel%2CHet+Clown But this is what shows when oneboxed: https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/genetic-calculator/?s1=Pastel,Het%2BClown&s2=Pastel,Het%2BClown With: “%2C” being changed to “,”. “+” Being changed to “%2B” Which gives users the wrong results on our site. Is there a way to stop this happening or a workaround?

It looks like the URLs in the OP are no longer oneboxable (no opengraph tags on the site). But just noting for the record, this issue should have been resolved by https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f0a02525267e88986581be1f87c9e5608b9a4377

Those links are both the same: https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/genetic-calculator/?s1=Pastel,Het%2BClown&s2=Pastel,Het%2BClown Can you wrap/backtick them so we can see them as you intended?

Sorry, my bad :roll_eyes: This is what it should look like: https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/genetic-calculator/?s1=Pastel%2CHet+Clown&s2=Pastel%2CHet+Clown This is what happens when oneboxed: https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/genetic-calculator/?s1=Pastel,Het%2BClown&s2=Pastel,Het%2BClown

Because they lead to different results. Here is what should be shown through the link: [SmartSelect_20210309-112213_Chrome] Not this: [SmartSelect_20210309-112241_Chrome] This makes a huge difference when trying to calculate genetics correctly.

If the url is functional in either case, why does it matter?
