Problems posting links - link auto detection fixed

Suggestions for site improvements. Forum and Advanced Driving UK announcements such as events, changes to the system and general information people should know about.

Just a short note, this problem has now been fixed. The board code will always look at a URL and decide if it is a link. Previously the code was breaking the link, although using the correct "short text".

The URL method in BBCode always worked and hence why we requested to use this method for posting links. Now you should be able to use either.

Normal link - just pasted into the post:
http://www.advanced-driving.co.uk/advan ... g-lessons/

URL BBCode link:
http://www.advanced-driving.co.uk/advanced-driving-lessons/

Please post in this thread if you see further issues with this. Please note that any links in the database prior to this code changed will not automatically be fixed, if they were not using the BBCode method. This is because the data / link code is already written to the database.

This should work fine for all new or edited posts.
Darren
