Hi, I noticed probably mistake in SMF. When I am adding the link (example)
http://www.mywebsite.com
and below link clicked as
<a href="http://mywebsite.com">Link</a>
is then a link at the top is stopping acting.
And it should act, if other link let say long link is possible to hide in code.
By the way I see that at your forum it looks different, link http work, but code don't work at all.
At me it is looking in this way:

I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time to understand what you mean.
And I also can't see your image, tinypic seems to be doing some kind of redirect and the redirected address fails to open...
If I will add the http link in the subject and at the bottom I am using the html code in the form <a href="link">click</a>
to create link clickable on it automatically http link first is stopping acting! The link in the html code is acting, therefore I think that it is a mistake in SMF, should be in this way, that http link should act and the http link added in the html code should also act!
On my forum its looks in this way:

You understand? Look at screen, first http link stop act cause at the bottom is link in html code
Is this happening when in a post, if so make sure html is enabled in posting. You could just use My Site (http://http//mysite.com).
I think I now understand yet I have to test to see if I can reproduce it.
Here it doesn't work because, even if HTML tag is enabled, only admins can use it.
You are right, I just confirmed that. So that everyone understands:
If basic HTML is deactivated in BBC settings and I post:
http://www.google.pt
It becomes a link.
If I enable basic HTML and post
http://www.google.pt
It becomes a link
But if I, still with basic HTML enabled, post:
http://www.google.pt
<a href="http://www.google.pt">Google</a>
The first URL, that before was automagically converted to a link, is now just simple text again.
Don't know if this is a bug or by design, but I'll just ask.
you should not be using HTML in posts anyway. that's why we incorporated the BBC tags including url and anchor.
adding to that Kindred I always that allowing html in posts was a security issue as well. I could be be very wrong, it's been know to happen.
you are not wrong.... admins are the only ones who can use the html tag anyway.... but even that should not be used in 99.99% of the cases. BBC is cleaned and parsed to specifically make certain that everything is good.
So it is a bug? Will it be fixed whether it will stay the way is it?

I don't understand why I can't use html in posts? I don't apply some big html, only this code thanks to this I can hide very long link in link clickable. But if you think that must be in this way so alright, I just want to ask.
rimh101, what Kindred means is you should be doing it like this:
[url=http://google.com]LINK[/url]
Result:
LINK (http://google.com)
Now I understand. Thanks for information.
