URL links not working correctly

[c3ptik]

Possibly a quick, easy one for most of you but i can't figure it out...

I posted this on the forum:
http://www.ibizaoc.com/forums/index.php?/topic/14753-the-new-seat-ibiza-cupra-the-full-scoop/
Which works fine if copied and pasted.

If i paste the link into Facebook (for example) and the link is clicked on I end up with this url instead:
http://www.ibizaoc.com/forums/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F14753-the-new-seat-ibiza-cupra-the-full-scoop%2F
 

Is there any reason why the slashes ( / ) are being replaced with %2F ? And how do i fix that?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, this isn't related to your issue exactly but just to let you know you can add some code in to your .htaccess within your /public_html/ folder on your webserver to remove the index.php? from everything.

http://docs.pyrocms.com/2.1/manual/setup/removing-indexphp-from-urls

So when visiting your website nobody would see the index.php?/ so it would be http://www.ibizaoc.com/forums/topic/example-topic/

%2F = /

How to fix it? Pretty sure you can't - as it is facebook's interpretation of your pasted link.
