I have just updated a large number of preset pages to replace every occurrence of + with %20. Each can be used to represent the space in URLs. It makes no difference to the presets provided as URLs, but it does make a difference to presets provided as forms. I have recently updated Game Courier to recognize the + character as itself instead of as a space when entered in forms. This means I am now encoding form data with rawurlencode, which uses %20 for spaces, instead of urlencode, which uses the + sign for spaces. This allows the standard notation for promoted Shogi pieces to be used, and it allows the + operator to be used for addition in GAME Code. But this update was not compatible with old presets whose form fields had been encoded with urlencode. So I did a multi-document search and replace on all preset pages and uploaded those that got altered by the search and replace. I checked a few pages as I was starting, found no problems, and went ahead with all the pages. I have not individually inspected each page for places where the + sign was used as itself. If any of you happen to find a preset page that has %20 where there should be a + sign, please let me know.
