But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
... That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Interesting! I just learned an odd quirk about the forum....
(Odd that when you're so specific as to specify URL **AND** Title, that it ignores your title unless you go advanced)

ahh, thanks. All these wonderful options that seem to have HiPS.
Sorry to bring this up again, but I can't for the life of me get this behavior to go away.
I have tried everything from deselecting all three checkboxes in the advanced edit window to manually constructing my URL tags with a named link identical to the link itself*.
*) That is, to insert a link to this very thread, I would do
<URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/248036-url-autoformatting.html">http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/248036-url-autoformatting.html</URL>
(with <> replaced by [] of course)
to get a hyperlinked text called http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/248036-url-autoformatting.html (this I faked through the COLOR and U tags)
But I only get URL autoformatting
(i.e. the title of the page no matter what I do).
As you say this isn't your fault, allow me to ask what clumsy dickhead at vBulletin it was that took it upon him- or herself to decide that everyone would like his or her new kewl toy so much that it wasn't worth the bother to make it optional to not use it?!?!

It would appear that turning off the "Automatically parse links in text" option (in full response mode) stops the re-titling rather effectively. Unfortunately, it also removes the HTML link. You win some, you lose some.

. I tried to find a way but didn't find one, so it's either "You Can't" or "My Setting-Fu is Weak". Sorry
