Please take note that the first step should only be done if you run a Beta Release of UBB 6.7. The full version will have this step already done.

Good job al, it makes those long url's look mucho better...

thanks

I did however find one bug...

When you enter a URL without the http:// it'll append a / to the www. See the demo

Did the fix for images in sigs get applied?

I believe so as it states that ian updated it

Well it is still truncating the [img] bit of [url] sections.

Also the section that it says not to do in 6.7 because its allready done, does not match 6.7.1's code - both the before (obvious) and after sections are diferent from 6.7.1.

Thanks

Is it just me or does it not like to truncate UBB forum urls?

Nevermind... works great
