Otsikko: Auto link forum topics

ok... here I go again...

Auto link forum topics.
In any post, when someone types a phrase that matches a topic title a link back would be automatically added.

To add to this... it would also be cool if links to users profile would be auto added when someone adds their name to a post.

To me, this will be a chaos.

If topics start linking, 1. It can be a database hike 2. it can be very confusing.

Well, maybe it could be like an auto link option or a tag of some kind.. So users can decide rather or not they want to add the "forum link." Just like linking an URL but.. a topic, or board.

So if I write... You can find info on "Rush of Fools" here.  Rush of Fools would be auto linked to that topic on my forum.

The only way this would work is to have a way to specify which text you want to have linked. Otherwise it would result in utter chaos.
