When you want to pass a user generated entry into a URL. You should encode the value in order to prevent any problems. This is called URLENCODING by encoding you can safely carry any value with your URL. In order to do this you should use {URLENCODE:fieldName} tag.
Example: Lets say you want to pass blog title in URL and the title is "Mike & Jill on vacation" it will cause problem on your URL because title contains spaces and "&" sign in it. In order to fix this it should be encoded as "Mike+%26+Jill+on+vacation" Memberkit can do this for you. Just use title as {URLENCODE:title} instead of {title}
You can also do the exact opposite with {URLDECODE:fieldName}, this tag decodes the given encoded string.
