[SMF 2.0.2] WYSIWYG editor wrongly formates URL without the "http" prefix
Arantor:
No, because other editors do exactly the same thing, because yo udon't always want absolute links, there are plenty of times you just want to link to somewhere else on the same site...
MrPhil:
I would rather see the whole "auto link" business dropped. You want a domain name to be a link? You wrap it in [url]http:// .. [/url]. Right now SMF is assuming anything starting with www. (but not http://www.) is an implied link. I think this has caused more problems (and work) than it has saved typing. It's also inconsistent (mysub.domain.com is not linked). As an example, there's another thread going on about [img]http://cache.www.domain.com getting turned into [img]http://cache.[url]www.domain.com.
Even in this simple post, I had to add "nobbc" tags to stop SMF from turning URLs into links.

Still bugs up with new editor.

Are you sure?
I just tested it again, but it seems to work "properly": it is not changed and it is auto-linked when displayed.

Hit the URL button, delete the http:// and just put www.startrek.com in and it doesn't work?
