Recently active topics in Get Satisfaction tagged with url

Hi there,

just a short improvement suggestion:

I do miss the option of choosing the category "Forum", when linking URLs with a company or product. I do also miss some of the options available for a company at the product drop-down! Why do they partly miss there? Please add them there too.

Thanks & kind regards,

Philipp

I would suggest only excluding a final ) or , (and possibly !) if the following character is a disallowed character (e.g. a space) and always including all the others. Also definitely include a ) if the URL ends with it if the URL previously contained a matching number of (s.

See, look, i've done all your work for you. ;)
