when i want to direct to a anime page for example
k-on!

it doesn't work I think its just for anime pages because i when directing it to a character page it works just fine for example
azusa nakano.
this started yesterday anyone else having the same problem or is it just me?

k-on!

It's an issue with the !, delete everything after the number in the url.

The exclamation mark is making the bbcode glitch I think

A way around it is to remove the ! or just post this part: http://myanimelist.net/anime/5680 without the anime name at the end and it will still direct you to the same page

The same goes for all other non alphanumerical signs. Questions marks, full stops, and so on, they all mess the URL up. In such cases, as suggested, simply link the entry by using its ID alone and ending it with that.

What they said but if you're linking something from another site that doesn't use ids so you can't just cut out most, put a / at the end.

Weird? It worked when I tried
Hmmm...testing

Edit: Nope, removing the exclamation mark from the link does work
Though it wouldn't work for other anime if it had more than one like K-On!! or multiple symbols

They meant exclamation mark in the url link, not the text that you wrap with that link...
