| depends what your opinion of slang words are, personally if it isn't in the dictionary then it isn't a proper word and therefore doesn't warrant being called a bug since we don't generally design stuff with slang language in mind. |

| I don't see why it's such a big deal to just incorporate the fix and be done with it. It seems pretty clear to a lot of people that it's a problem. Is there some kind of problem with incorporating this fix into the base code? |

| I think the debate it whether or not this should be considered a bug or enhancement. I'm leaning more towards enhancement which means I will treat it as a mod and not a fix. |

Ok...this is ridiculous. This is a bug. In no way possible the desired functionality of the code would be to transform the letters www followed by multiplie dots, without anything else behind it into an url leading to the address www."multiple dots"!
That's simply ridiculous. There are no URL's with just a subdomain, and a couple of dots as domainname, without TLD or CLD.
The basecode has not forseen in this issue, and should be corrected, as the acquired behaviour of the code is not in line with the desired behaviour.
Simply compare it to this ; if the word "awww...." should create a link to nothing, why isn't the word "asbdashjkdas....." creating a link ?
Simply because it shouldn't. And that's the same with the first one ; it shouldn't. |

That doesn't make sense. Based on your logic I should be able to treat any sequence of letters/characters as a word without it trying to parse, for example the image tag ([img]). What if I didn't want an image? What if I just wanted to show the tag? There are just certain functions that are used for "normal" environments.
 << I didn't want an image, can you create a function to prevent this for me as well? |

I have nothing against the change, but it is not a bug.
I could never write my name when I first arrived at Snitz, but you didn't hear me winging on about it being a bug just because I couldn't write reddick

There's a difference between using tags which converted (as it should be) and writing something that is not an URL which gets converted to an URL.
The problem is that certain strings are handled as URLs which are definately no valid URLs. And this is a bug IMO.

Shouldn't be a problem, a checkbox added to the form where you choose whether certain/all tags are ignored or not (I think phpBB has this feature). |

| To solve the issue, I think we should have automatic spell correction and then you won't be able to write awww at all |

if we're going to refer to semantics then I say slang is not a reason for software bugs. I applaud Stimmy's creation of this enhancement for those that elect to use it, but I don't recognize this as a bug. |
