Hi
Just an Idea on many other Forums I use when U put in a URL it makes it a hyperlink. just makes it abit easyer to view other pages instead of the old cut and paste

Top idea, but it presents a few problems. The biggest being how do you recognise a string of text as being a URL? You can parse it, and from memory this forum is Perl based, which makes life easier when parsing stuff and pattern matching.

On way around this would be to use a tag within the message you are posting, which denotes a URL. Much easier to implement, so when you post a message:

Hi, go to this site to check out something:
<url>http://blahblah.com/sickburnouts/index.html</url>

I hope that worked Smile

Or you could just high light it with your mouse, go CTRL+C, ALT+TAB, CTRL+V and save Adam and Joe a lot of trouble.

But that's just me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
