Hyperlink problem

When you paste (+-long) hyperlink without using the url BBc, some of them get chopped to Http://randomsite/randomna ...dpage.htm and only the first part is clickable, which results into a 404/other error.

When they're shortened like that, it's still clickable unless it was quoted or previewed before posting.

But yeah, it is really annoying when they do that. I think it's just better if they didn't parse like that, but would still post as a hyperlink without using the URL code (so you can be lazy :oops:

).

Mikes knows about this, the link breaks if you edit your post as well.

Well just below your post you'll have the option not to parse any url's. By the way how long must an url be to get it parsed?

There was a problem with the function that reparses shortened magic urls (not placed in a [url] tag) back into the long version for editting. I've fixed it and it should work fine now. There was an extra space :oops:

It shortens any url longer than 65 characters.
