URL digestion.......

[dilbert]

I've noticed that if you include a URL in a post, and the url does not begin www, then the message parser eats it up all wrong.

An example;

www.com">Radio Spares

As opposed to;

Pistonheads

Yep, I need to revisit the URL parser as it's a bit overcomplex in hindsight and easily confused.

I'm not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree here by including this question on this thread but anyway...

When I want to post a link to something (normally my Photobucket account) I copy and paste the address. It then displays it on the post as http://etc etc. How do I /can I change that link to just read 'pictures'? I just think it looks neater.

TIA, Trackside.

use the [pic] [/pic] tags to surround the url

Thanks, Ted. I think what I was trying to do was insert a hyperlink, not a picture. Sussed it now though by quoting someone else and seeing how they did it!

[ url ] nice text | http url [ /url ]

with judicous removal of spaces.

I guess that the strangeness that defied the rules of PH http script never happened. The post that I and others made earlier, never happened. I was never here, nor have I ever been.

In fact, who am I?

That's a very nice suit you have there, it's very...... black.

Everything you saw on here was just a glitch in the matrix
