    Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

    The problem seems to be getting it inserted into a <ref> tag, from a quick look at the source code for the page. Here was the html I used to make it look like post#17 (spaces in the URL so it shows)

    [U R L ="http://www.beautydesign.com"]http://www.beautydesign.com[/URL]

    Thats standard bbcode for forums, its the way all links used to work on this forum. When I use the link creator from the forum, I get:

    [URL="http://www.google.com/"]http://www.google.com/[/URL]

    The difference here being the quotation marks added. Either way, with the quotation marks, using the forum's recommended method, it still won't work. I can't post it like that, only without any added [url=][/url] tags.

    This forum needs to have a way to use links without seeing the full link length and, instead, having a quick description text. For some reason its not able to.

    [URL="URL Location"]Descriptive Text[/URL]

    Somethings not functioning correctly.

    Shrug. Takes less characters to just copy the link like Giga & I are doing. Good luck.

    It can show short link descriptions. Try looking at what the forum does when you post a link to someone else's thread:

    [url]http://www.loveforum.net/love-advice-forum/28296-stages-marriage-long-term-relationship.html[/url]

    I copied the huge link from the url window in my browser and got just this^

    just copy and paste the link directly from the url. you don't need those [ for it to work perfectly.

    there is a "Automatically retrieve titles from external links" under Additional Options right after the postbox.(if you hit post reply or new thread")

    That will disable the retrieve and cut down on the time to post ..(i realise that)


    As for url, it is disable, i think..
