MyBB Community Forums

Hello - I just set up my forum a couple of days ago one issue I'm having is when posting a link to say another site:

I get this (without the spaces)

[url=h ttps://community.mybb.com/announcement-32.html[ /url]

Rather than this
 
https://community.mybb.com/announcement-32.html

I think it is in one of the settings that I have configured but not sure which. It's been a long haul setting the forum up..

Any help would be great - thanks, John.

Oh - and  I do really like the forum appearance and functionality - really happy.

[url=https://community.mybb.com/announcement-32.html[/url] 

This is an invalid syntax.

Use either:

[url=https://community.mybb.com/announcement-32.html]Announcement[/url]

Which will produce : Announcement 

or only URL (without BBCode)

https://community.mybb.com/announcement-32.html

which will produce: https://community.mybb.com/announcement-32.html

I tried your suggestion effone - this is the result in the post:



https://mybb.com

I see the difference effone - I don't have the insert a link icon in the text enter box - I must have disabled this somewhere:



So where is that..

Try...

Admin Control Panel > Configuration > Clickable Smilies and BB Code > "Allow Link MyCode" (should be "yes")

If not - Check you Custom MyCodes, as it looks like an additional [code] has been inputted there somewhere (unless you tried to add it as code for display in the post?)

Its not about that what you said.
You are not ending ( ] ) the first [url= open before closing it.

[ url=https://mybb.com]MyBB[/url]

Sorry for the delay in replies guys, when I tried notadmin's route my forum acted up (trying to access the forum via IP address rather than the domain name.)

I contacted the hosting site and they fixed the issue, apparently the settings.php file was being affected every time I changed something in the admin config settings - this is the third time they have supposedly addressed the same issue (third time lucky):

Quote:We have restricted editing of the settings.php file located in the following directory:

/home/....../public_html/inc

So that the changes we have currently made are permanent and do not revert again.

I'm not sure if the admin config changes affect the settings.php - I'd need to read up on that.

The forum is now correctly showing the http link and that "insert a link" tab is on the editor.

Sorry about the confusion in my opening post effone - I really appreciate your help..

Thanks - guys..greatly appreciated.
