This is pretty minor, but easy to fix. 
When posting a reply (post.asp), clicking on the "Forum Code" link does not show how to insert a URL (or email link). Also, if Format Mode is set to Help, the help is incorrect for the Insert Hyperlink button. The help says you can use [url=http://www.anywhere.com]text[/url], which isn't quite right. You need to add double quotes around the URL, as in url="http://www.anywhere.com". Also worth mentioning in the help is that you can just type the URL in your text without using forum code, as in http://www.example.com.
And one more minor nitpick: The URL detection code should probably strip trailing punctuation. See the last sentence in the previous paragraph for an example. If you really want to have trailing punctuation, you can always use the longhand form.

Gotcha. Maybe the Forum Code help (pop_forum_code.asp) could include help on inserting URLs and email addresses. Those seem to be the only things missing. Also, I notice that the popup help for email links includes
USE#1: someone@anywhere.com
which is why I suggested adding the simple URL insertion syntax to the button help. Anyhow, not a big deal.
Thanks,
Fran
