Here is another vBulletin features that I like: When creating a new topic in addition to the standard:

Post Notification - Notify me when someone replies to this message.
Include Signature - Include my profile signature.
Disable smilies in this message

They also have an option to

Quote:

Automatically parse URLs: automatically adds and around internet addresses.

As you can see just above the word and is shown as a clickable link when in fact it should be shown as [.url] and [/url]

it is useful when you have something like http://www.mysite.com or http://www.your_site.com or you just don't want to show the url as a hyperlink.

is there a way to do it otherwise?

If you put the url inside the [code] tag (example below)

http://fud.prohost.org/forum/

It won't get parsed.

ahhh, the infamous CODE tag! Shocked

it is useful when you have something like http://www.mysite.com or http://www.your_site.com or you just don't want to show the url as a hyperlink.
but as you can see down below this paragraph will be unformatted when I add the CODE tags. which is not like it was before.

Based on the above, if I put the CODE tags aroung the paragraph, I get:

it is useful when you have something like http://www.mysite.com or http://www.your_site.com or you just don't want to show the url as a hyperlink. but as you can see this paragraph is now completely unformatted. which is not like it was before.

Now the paragraph formatting has changed (no more word wrap).

If I put the CODE tags aroung the URL, I get:

it is useful when you have something like

http://www.mysite.com

http://www.your_site.com

or you just don't want to show the url as a hyperlink.

Now the paragraph is broken.

Seems like a radio button to turn the feature on/off for the post would be a better solution

Or maybe something like

[URL="off"] http://www.myhomepage.com[/URL]

Actually there is also the [notag] tag Smile

Which you can use without [code] problems. But there was a bug with this tag, which I now fixed in CVS.

It's not yet documented...

Updated documentation is on my todo, it is quite a bit out of date I'm afraid.

shame on you... Don't you just hate manuals!

you've probably spent way too much time trying to defend the CODE vs QUOTE discussion.... ( Hint: give it up and highlight the CODE - I said highlight, not format )

OK, will wait on 2.5.3RC2.

Got any other hidden jewels out there?

yeah, right! me and CVS get along about as good as Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. I'd have better luck convincing you to highlight the CODE selection than I would using that stuff...! Cool
