Just a small gripe

    Just as I reported some spam there I was posting the URL to the thread and noticed that if you post a link without using the link button, it just shows as text. I know you're able to name your links so to speak with this function, but would it be possible to make it like some site where when you post a URL it appears as a click-able link.
    I know it's such a minor gripe but people often post links just as text and I bet they don't get clicked as much.

    Hmm, I thought they did do that. Which editor are you using, advanced or standard?

    I'm not sure, I'm using firefox on a mac if that helps?
    That's what happens if I just copy and paste a link.

    I can't see that thread.

    I use Firefox, and simply pasting in a thread in either editor mode usually leads to the URL tags being auto-added.

    Oh, it seems to work for me too.
    Sorry I was sure it didn't:confused:

    It looks like text initially, it doesn't turn into a link until it is posted.
