Do not comment that line out. You are opening an XSS security hole by removing the htmlspecialchars call.

Even better, you can have the URL auto convert into the Title of the page:

In the file /includes/class_bbcode.php i found two lines:
$text = htmlspecialchars_uni(vbchop($tmp, 36) . '...' . substr($tmp, -14));

so i replaced both by:
$text = htmlspecialchars_uni($text);

and it seems to work (no link shortenings). Is that better regarding security?
