Hi,

When I use the URL button to format this url http://66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/ it doesn't work properly. i.e. 66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/.

Adding in some underlines in stragetic positions, the link code looks like :

[url_]_66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/_[/url_].

But the link it creates is wrong.

you have to put the http:// in front of it.

[url]http://66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/[/url]

will produce this:

http://66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/


this:

[url]66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/[/url]

will produce this:

66.250.110.210/auscps/forums/

which is not correct.

if you don't add the http:// in front of it, then the base href of the page (on this site it's http://forum.snitz.com/forum/ ) is appended to the front of it.

But when I'm not using an IP it works properly -> www.auscps.com ? Shouldn't the code just always add a "http://" to the beginning of the URL ?

Edit :

In summary, when I'm using the forum code 'url' tag, if I enter a domain name, it correctly prefixes a 'http://'. When I enter an IP address in the 'url' tag it does not prefix a 'http://'

It's not just for me, other people should surely strike this ?

the code is set up to recognize www but it would be difficult to assume an ip for a web address.

OK, I'm with you now ..... the url tag can be used for more than just http:// and if I drop off the www I get the same problem

test : auscps.com

Edit: Thanks for clearing that up dayve
