When you add a link to text that doesn't begin with "www." it will go to a broken url.

for example

This link will be broken

"url=puu.sh/45IR2.pngThis"/url"link will be broken

This link will not be broken

"url=www.puu.sh/45IR2.pngThis"/url"link will not be broken

notice the only difference is the "www." in the url code. This isn't a huge deal because most times you copy a link it includes "www." it's just something small I noticed.

You need the http:// in front of the URL.

brownymasterYou need the http:// in front of the URL.

yes or "www." either one. I know how to solve the problem as I already pointed out in my post. I just think its a bit silly that not including http:// or www. will break the link.

I mean the popup explicitly says that you need to include http:// in the URL, so at the very least it's not a bug. At most what you're asking for is a feature request. It'll also fuck up if you use ftp but don't include that in the url.

Also, if that does get fixed then you can't do the cool thread linking with just the number. Although this fucks up if you get linked to a post since HTTP works off your current / directory.

true I didn't read the pop-up box to be honest; also ironically the thread you linked cant be found.

If there's a / at the end, it won't work. If there's multiple pages it also doesn't work. It's just a very niche situation where it will work.
