#MXP and URL/color ISSUE
 
Code:
#MXP <color white><a @questurl >Here</a></color>


or

Code:
#MXP This is a <a 'http://www.zuggsoft.com' 'Zugg Software'>hyperlink</a>


makes my mud end up from perfect MXP to the following and all MXP tags are "Broken/Visible" until i relog. The next time it triggers it happens again etc.

Code:
<245</V>hp 250</V>sp <V St>289</V>st>

Though I haven't seen it in this aspect, there has been a bug in this MXP pattern from as far as I remember. I did post it once a few years back. The workaround I found was to put the color inside the tags and not outside. eg.,
Code:

#MXP <a @questurl ><color white>Here</color></a>

I find that a simple #CW after all your MXP code works as well

Interestingly enough if i turn off the system entity <stat the problem disappears.. I will play with it some more to be sure.

What you showed:
Code:

<245</V>hp 250</V>sp <V St>289</V>st>

indicates that the Stats element is involved somhow, which is why disabling it helped.
Disabling the tag is a solution that addresses the symptoms, though, not the problem. Somewhere in your code you are doing something that makes MXP think you are using the <ST> (Stats) tag.

lol nope it returned on next logon with it still disabled. It must disable something else that is re-enabled on session reconnect.

when typing manually it does not break

When using in a trigger it breaks

Original
<<V Hp>561</V>hp <V Sp>520</V>sp <V St>550</V>st>

After Trigger
<<V Hp>561</V>hp <V Sp>520</V>sp <V St><V St>550</V>st>

Looks similar right? well except for two things

1. extra <v st> in there
2. all the </v> no longer show up in the blue but in the color of the #'s

okay guys i think i got this one. The only time i had this problem is when i called a trigger and then use #SHOW or #MXP with mxp commands. #SUB MXP Command works fine however. So until Zugg takes a gander and sees if there is an issue or not this might be a work around for you guys.

Below works fine and is an example of one of the ways i use it.
Code:

#LOCAL $quest $questurl
$quest=%-1
$questurl="http://annwn.info/quest/search?search=quest&sort=questname~&keyword="%replace( $quest, " ", "+")
#SUB {%trigger<A '$questurl' '$quest'>%ansi(bright,white)Check Annwn for quest</a>}
