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

I just tried a URL shortener - https://rb.gy/30vbq
