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  |

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!!! |
