See this test topic ;
The problem occurs when trying to parse a link like this:

http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:Ig5pDaZoWeMJ:www.cu2.nl/browse.php%3Fid%3D2685714+wauske&hl=nl

I noticed this some time ago already, but I thought it was something that I messed up myself at oxle, but it seems that the base code also has this problem....

Is there a way to 'fix' this ?

Mmm...too bad.
Isn't it possible to check for the presence of any text (except spaces) before http:// or www. before converting that piece of text to an url ?
Just thinking out loud..

yes, but would create as much confusion if not more, and put a lot of strain on the forum, string parsing is not something that asp is very efficient at.

Mmmh...ok. I guess the only workable workaround is 'shrinking' the links.

I wonder where a person could find such a convenient service

Indeed ..

Too bad this doesn't work with Snitz. Lot's of people post links to google-cache-sites...and those links simply don't work....
Well, if it isn't possible to fix, it's simply too bad.

*cough* I think regexp's could probably take care of it efficiently, however I have no clue how to deal with them.

The only problem with those links, IMHO, is that they break up if you put them into [url], that should be fixed, if anything.
