Thanks for this Mod

Nice work

Gryzor:
Really nice!!! Just installed it, runs very well!

EDIT Oops, I found a small issue: when I post a plain url in a
--- Code: --- tag, like [code] http://www.blahblah.com
--- End code ---
the mod should not touch it, yet it replaces it with the full tagged url, namely
--- Code: ---[url=http://www.blahblah.com]BlahBlah[/url]
--- End code ---
. Can it be fixed?

Spuds:
Thats the way it works, it finds all links in a message irrespective of other tags it might be nested it.  You have the option to turn off the feature on a per message basis however (under advanced) for those times when you don't want it to mess around in a message.
