Any time I put multiple forward slashes together (like //), the module strips them down to one. It looks like it's a function File (Field) Paths (specifically filefield_paths_process_string()) that does the actual stripping, but it makes sense in a file path context. It doesn't make sense when a user types in content and has that content saves to the database differently than how she entered it.

There won't be major rewrites to the 6.x version. Perhaps you could move this issue to File Field Paths or supply a patch?

Is anyone able to write a patch for this module to fix the issue of the removal of a forward slash (/) from an external link. It causes the external links to be filters as internal links in my 3D Carousel module.
I'd write my own patch if I knew more about php.

Thanks!
