O.P.  Automaticly parse "www" ?
Hello.
Can there be a feature that with automaticly insert [url=www.msgplus.net] if no http:// is typed?
Because some people dont add http:// to their links and its kinda boring to have to open a new window to view that site 
So can this be added?  |

RE: Automaticly parse "www" ?
And what about sites that don't begin with "www" ? Or sites from the type of "kick.to/something" ? etc.
I mean, it would be very difficult to make a parser that can reconize all those things 100% correctly. So, personaly, I think those people should be less lazy and type http:// instead of WDZ making something that does the stuff for them....

I like the idea, personaly CookieRevise does have a point, but yet it would be nice if you could just type in www.msgplus.net and it makes a clickable link....Would be nice since some of us are lazy  .... |

Yeah... I can't really remember why it doesn't. I put lots of thought into that parser. 
Well, I'll tweak the code and see what breaks.  |
