I posted a message in linux board and it puts a http:// before httpd even if I don't. Thats not good IMO.

Lets see if it does here to..

Yeah, this board has a few gotchas like that. An easy workaround for this problem is to use a style-code on one of the letters.

See? Hit "Post a reply to this message" to see how I did it.

WEBMASTER: if you are reading this, here's a interesting bug in the style-code system: if you put style-code around text containing the 'at' symbol (@), that board converts it into a 'mailto' link. Some examples

@
@
foo@
@bar
foo@bar
@something

It appears that any string in the form of text@text gets converted into a mailto:. Having a 'mailto' style-code would be useful. Having the board automatically convert anything with an @ in it into a 'mailto' is a Bad Thing, especially on a site that discusses source code.

For instance, if I use style-codes in Java source which contains JavaDoc style comments, the JavaDoc directives all get screwed (because they start with an @). The board turns them all into 'mailto' links. Example:

class test {
  /** The entry point function.
   * @param args The command line arguments
   * @return nothing
   */
  static public void main( String[] args ) {
    System.out.println("Hello, World!");
  }
}

Cheers,

Hey,
Yep, got it, thanks.

I thought it best to bring it to light cos these trivial things can make a lot of differences in certain places, while in most it doesn't matter.

Just trying to help by making this board a better place.

I made some tweaking of the rendering code and now these problems should be fixed.

I now check if there's a "." in the URL/Mail before I render it, otherwise I don't.

So


http://
httpd

@
@
foo@
@bar
foo@bar
@something

No don't render at all.

Let me know if if dones't wo the work.
