Re: Will This Link Be Garbled?
Is there a question hidden in your post?

Re: Will This Link Be Garbled?
We are in the test area and I was testing whether a url which previewed OK would still be OK on posting. The letters vb in the test message do constitute a hyperlink, but not to the page I pasted. In the end I edited my post on the live forum giving a tinyurl link instead of the original. So no hidden question! (although I sent a message to Andy Pope about it)

You might want to share the details of that with p45 ... while I look over your shoulder.

Did you see what I wrote underneath Black Magic?
From daves thread:
Where a URL contains keywords that autolink. To over come this simply type the keyword before the URL and it will autolink and prevent the same keyword in the URL autolinking.

Re: Will This Link Be Garbled?
QuoteI wrote the autolink word (vb) above the thread link. Dave explained it in a thread somewhere.
Got it now. It wasn't obvious to me that what screwed up the link was the vb word was causing an autolink, so your sentence was GIBBERISH, pure wrangle-bunny ...Motivational to preview posts, huh?

re:"Motivational to preview posts, huh?"
Previewing doesn't show up the problem, you'll either have to know what's going to be autolinked, or post anyway and edit your post afterwards if necessary. I'm a bit surprised that it does autolink stuff within the url code tags.
Anyway, now I understand what to do, so thanks to all, regards,

Re: Will This Link Be Garbled?
Yeah, sorry guys, unfortunately previewing doesn't show the problem. It seems like it's near impossible to prevent also as any fix requires a massive amount of processing and will likely cause more issues than it solves.
