Tony,

The actual problem here (that you could have a single quote in a topic
ID) has already been fixed in Geeklog 1.3.9rc1. To quote from the history
file:

- Single quotes are now silently stripped from topic IDs (bug #113).

It may not be such a bad thing after all. At least it makes for more
readable URLs. Compare

    http://www.geeklog.net/index.php?topic=GeekLog

with

    http://www.geeklog.net/index.php?topic=42

Of course, a text-based ID has all sorts of problems like spelling,
upper/lower case, and, of course, special characters ...

bye, Dirk
