The encoding of the plus gets turned into a space because it uses the URL encoded built into JS. It needs some corner case code. But actually its only the preview that sees the space - if you look atyour entry you'll see the + - just like this one. P PS Probably a very simple fix just no time to look at it. THe source code is provided with NK if you fancy exploring it.
