A new week, hope all is OK for everyone.

Here’s the 10 day METVUW weather forecast

EDIT: Sorry, the links are corrupted

South Island
- I'm really loving all these old-school-internet vibes, thanks for sharing! (Errors aside)
- Weird, the page loads but none of the images load for me? Or is the forecast for broken links 😛
  
  That's what I got too, on mobile anyway.
  
  Just looked, and yes the images are out atm for me as well.
  
  Just looked and both the links I initially posted had a corrupt character in them. Quite how that could happen I don’t know, maybe it was the Memmy app. I reloaded the links and they should now be working.
  
  EDIT 1: Arrggh, still the same. I’ll edit it in a browser.
  
  EDIT 2: Same problem with the links posting from a browser. The link includes "=rain®ion" the ampersand gets corrupted.
  
  EDIT 3: Ha, even the text I put in the last edit got corrupted despite being in quotes. The & seems to be the issue.
  
  Let’s try a code post type=rain®ion=nzni
  
  EDIT 4 : Even the code post got corrupted, hmmm, not so wonderful.
  
  Something weird happening in your links. They are getting a registered trademark symbol in them.
  
  Edit: It does it for me too. It's not your app, I suspect it's the new security change that escapes HTML. I've tried a bunch and I give up. Edit the URL and change the ® symbol to be an ampersand and "reg" to make it region.
  
  Fascinating!
  
  so & + reg gives the registered symbol.
  
  Surely there must be a way to get the TM symbol as well?
  
  © is & + copy
  
  ™ is & + trade

  I haven't worked out how to actually post the link. Just need to have users do the change themselves :(
  
  Like this: ok it is really hard to post this as just plain text, so I will post as an image and you will see
  
  Ah yes this makes sense. Thanks!
  
  I learned about this today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references
  
  hahaha
  
  I just tried a URL shortener - https://rb.gy/30vbq
