Test case: https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=3661

The iurl's for the anchors were entered with the anchor ID only.
Code (Example) Select
#SBreadme_1
This has been checked, and double checked, by me.
Despite this, on saving the edited description the iurl's are all forced to this format:
https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=3661#post_SBreadme1
That is on the mod description page.

In the OP of the mod's support thread (which is auto-loaded via the mod site) things are even worse. Those iurl's all get forced to this format:
https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=post;sa=edit;mod=3661#SBreadme1
This is a total balls up. Shouldn't happen. It should just accept the anchor ID as given.
You haz a bug. Enjoy. :)

The "post_" part gets added to the anchor name automatically to prevent it from interfering with any other anchors on the page. I agree that it shouldn't mess up the post though.
