so they can be cut pasted.

It is hardcoded into the vb code to do that. There is not option/setting to just toggle to turn that off. You would have to find the actual function and modify it.

can anyone please point me in right direction please

I don't have access to my files at the moment to find where to edit them. You may be able to do a global search in your files to find "..." and you'll find the file to edit.

Can anyone please help me with this.

You can copy&paste such a link. The link is not changed, only the visible text.

Thanx,I realise that but you surely cant directly copy and paste as you are copying the text not the link.

If you decide to tackle the problem, the function is handle_bbcode_url in the file includes/class_bbcode.php You can either modify the function (I'm not sure where else it may be, so this isn't what I would do) or find where the function is called when posts are made and just not call it (comment it out - this is what I would do).

Actually even copy&paste of an entire piece of text, with a shortened link inside the text can be done, providing the target of the paste can handle rich text.

Ie. Pasting into the WYSIWYG editor of vBulletin will work, pasting into the basic editor will fail.
