Please if you post a link to a website or file, please, please, please use URL tags! Does this annoy anyone else? I would love to see others' work, but most of the time i just can't be arsed to open a new window and copy and paste the link. I'm sure im not the only one.

Umm... This is the Beta announcements forum, not the General Forum...

And It doesn't bother me.

It would be nice if Rich fixed the code so that URLs put whatever was inside them in a link, instead of looking for the http:// part.

NOBODY has a forum name as stupid as Darth Shader. I do.

DS - I think I know what you mean, but remember that a link such as

[ u r l ] w w w . m i c r o s o f t . c o m [ / u r l ]

Does not work (at least not with me), as you browser will look for

www.yourdomain.com/folder/www.microsoft.com

The http:// is needed to sned the browser to a new site.

personally i don't mind adding the http:// ... what i'd more prefer is that it creates a new window with the link
