Tags with the ampersand sign(&) doesnt work. When you try to go to a
page with that tag you will get , for example with tag of 'D&D3e',
"http://pinboard.in/t:D&D3e", instead of the correct "http://
pinboard.in/t:D%2526D3e"

I think that this is because the ampersand is the parameter separator
for a url.


Edit: I noticed that from certain links it gives the correct url,
while others it gives the wrong one. Maybe just need to make sure all
links are encoded properly?

Thanks for reporting this! I spent some time this morning poring over
our escaping code and fixed a few bugs, including the one you posted
here. Please let me know if anyone finds further irregularities.

There's a known issue with bookmarks pulled from twitter having
encoding issues. Anything else will be news to me - you can post to
the list, report via twitter or (best of all) send me email directly.
