Strange issue when linking to journal from signature

For some reason (and I've noticed this for a while, and just haven't brought it up yet) when I have a link to my journal in my sig, the url parses incorrectly (specifically any instance of "&").

Is there any reason for this? I swear other peoples' sigs that have links to specific journal entries actually work.

For reference, the url I actually have inputted in the "edit sig" zone of my user cp for the first link (the Terranigma set) is as follows:

http://www.gamingforce.org/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=122&entryid=19456

.

Is this an issue with using the links with my own text/images?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It was actually a problem with [columnsplit]. I fixed it, probably (your sig works now, anyway).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
