URL autoformatting

How do I get rid of the autoconverting of links? Manually entering the <url> tags doesn't help?

Help!

Test: http://forum.rpg.net/

Okay, so I can edit a post without this bad mojo happening. Now, how to get there when making new posts?!?

Edit 2: To make myself clear, when I edit a post, entering links works exactly as it should. That is, <url> tags are generated, but nothing else.

How do I get back this behavior for new posts?

You mean the titles? If so, uncheck this box in Additional Options -> Miscellaneous Options: 'Automatically retrieve titles from external links'

Oops... misunderstood something! Nothing to see!

Sorry for being thick, but where do I find this checkbox?

When you are making a post... under the text box where you enter the body of your post there's the Submit Reply and Preview Post buttons. Under them, there's the "Additional Options" section. You want the third checkbox under "Miscellaneous Options".

And you also want to go to the Advanced reply window instead using just the Quick reply

And if that works, then this is what did it (in quick reply too, btw):

[url=http://forum.rpg.net]http://forum.rpg.net[/url]

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)

Thanks, found it.

Now for the million dollar question:

How do I turn this checkbox OFF as a default for my account?
How do I turn this behavior OFF for quick replies?
