hyperlink problem
 

lol...my first post.....hello to all the members.....i hope your day was better than mine. Anyway....

When users post links using {URL=http://www.website.com]website[/URL] it doesnt work.

For example, if someone uses this code:

{URL=http://www.website.com/help.mp3]listen to me sing[/URL]

Instead of linking to "http://website.com/help.mp3" it links to "file:///D|/New%20Folder/vbulletin/2.2.6/upload/admin/%5C%22http://www.website.com/help.mp3"

D:/newfolder/vbulletin/2.2.6/upload/admin is a directory on my hard drive. Of course they cant access it so they get an error saying "cannot find link. Make sure your paths and dir is correct"

I have been playing around alot with the board so more than likely i screwed something up.

Can anyone help me fix this with out doing a new install? thanks

can anyone help at all? Even the slightest help will do.

take a look at your functions.php
function parseurl($messagetext)

compare it with an original functions.php and replace it if they aren't identical

thanks for the tip Xenon.....that wasnt quite it but I found it using your advice....

a line above function parseurl($messagetext) had gotten screwed up.

thanks for the help

:)

you're welcome
