Right now if you post a link and hit the submit button, you get this error: "No message after formatting." I would really like to be able to post links in my shoutbox! Can anyone help?

Looks like in /pals/shoutaddal.php there is this code to remove links:

Code

<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url\]ftp:\/\/([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url\]http:\/\/([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url\]https:\/\/([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url\]([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url=http:\/\/(.*?)\]([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url=https:\/\/(.*?)\]([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br />		$Body = preg_replace("/\[url=(.*?)\]([^\[]*?)\[\/url\]/i","",$Body);<br /><br />

As a link in the shoutbox would most likely cause scrolling for sure. You could try commenting out this bit of code.

I am not worrying about it causing scrolling, I am kinda hacking this thing and creating a whole chat system. I got the two hardest things done, the graemlins and links. I had tested out the RaiderSoft Chat but for my users it was too hard to keep explaining things. I need to keep it as simple as possible and this is going to work perfect!
