linking problem
 

Ok well, i got the links to not be able to click on them and go directly to the specified link. But now, everytime that i post a link, a regular link, like www.google.com it gives me these things around it. The URL BBcode is off, so why is it doing this? any help please?

You need to have bbcodes enabled for it to work

..iknow, but i dont want it to work. I want it to be just like that, except without the [url] things. I dont want people to be able to click on links

On the New Reply page, try unticking the "Automatically parse links in text" option.

this worked, but how can i enable this for everyone? and how can i hide it from users, so they cant un-check the box and so forth?

I'm not sure if you can with vBulletin Options, you could edit the "newreply" template to uncheck and remove the option.

i will try this, you've been an awesome help. thank you.

This is for anybody else that may need this to be turned off and is browsing this topic.

when you have this:

Then all you want to do is just edit the show and the checked lines like this:

This will simple hide and disable the automatic link parsing feature. This is also in the newreply template.
