That software (i.e. what we're running on!) isn't expected to have any further non-critical bug fixes. Thus the only meaningful bug report you could make would be if the same "feature" occurs on 2.0 sites; then a post on meta.stackoverflow.com would be appropriate.

while
www.yahoo.com is the same as yahoo.com
This depends on the server configuration (math.ethz.ch or yahoo.com) and whoever designed that part of the code should not just assume it's safe to strip the address like that. This is probably a bug that needs to be reported upstream, and has little if anything to do with Math Overflow. I just have no idea where to report it. It should also probably not be me, but someone with some rights on Math Overflow, or at least some experience of administering a Stack Exchange server, and who can confirm this is not a site-specific option or a known bug. ]]> http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/685/bug-in-the-rendering-of-web-addresses/?Focus=9262#Comment_9262 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/685/bug-in-the-rendering-of-web-addresses/?Focus=9262#Comment_9262 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:32:06 -0700 Harry Gindi Why don't you just get a tinyurl or something for the link?

which made me realize there was a bug in the rendering of web addresses there (and maybe elsewhere).

The real http address of my homepage is http://www.math.ethz.ch/~pdehaye/
the link http://math.ethz.ch/~pdehaye/ will not work.

On my profile, despite entering the correct link, this gets displayed as math.ethz.ch/~pdehaye . I think this is wrong or at best misleading, and that it should display www.math.ethz.ch/~pdehaye instead. Note that the link actually works when clicked. ]]>
