Oneboxing changes link URL?

Support

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:

But this is what shows when oneboxed:

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?

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

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

Because they lead to different results.

Here is what should be shown through the link:

SmartSelect_20210309-112213_Chrome1858×701 104 KB

Not this:

SmartSelect_20210309-112241_Chrome
SmartSelect_20210309-112241_Chrome1780×633 144 KB

This makes a huge difference when trying to calculate genetics correctly.

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
