At the moment if I add a url to a post it looks like this when you view the post:
and it's not clickable. (I had to put it in a code box or it gets parsed here and looks correct, unlike how it looks in my forum!)
In case what I've typed above actually gets parsed, and shows as a clickable link, I want to point out that in the post I'm talking about, the url opening and closing tags are actually showing up at either end of the url path itself (like raw html). It looks like it's not converting the html into a link when you create the post.
What I want is for it to look like this in the post:
https://www.mysite.com/index.html
Anyone know why or have a solution please?
UPDATE: I realised we had myCode turned off in our forum, which was causing the url not to get parsed as html, but to get written with the tags on either end.
Still, it's kind of weird (buggy?) that myBB does that to a post, when myCode is turned off - ie, add the url opening and closing tags and display them in the message.
I would think that a better way would be for myBB just to leave the text in a url in a post unchanged, if myCode is turned off in the users forum. It's difficult to illustrate this because whatever I put here DOES get parsed, but essentially, if I write: https://www.mysite.com/mypage.html in a post, and myCode is turned off, it should NOT end up with a visible url tag on either side like this (without the 'code' title):
[url]https://www.mysite.com/index.html[/url]and it's not clickable. (I had to put it in a code box or it gets parsed here and looks correct, unlike how it looks in my forum!)
