The regex I'm using is:

http://www\.juot\.[a-z]+/([\w/.?=$#&;]*)

and the replacement is:

<img src="/forums/images/icons/juoticon.GIF" border="0" align="absmiddle" />&nbsp;<a href="/$p1&$p2">$ameinfo[title]</a>

which puts a small icon before the link and the title of the page as the link. It's been working for a few days and I've tried every URL combo I could think of including with styles and search highlights.

Is there any danger in using this if it seems to work?

(note I didn't include "net" in my URL because some people visit me on juot.co instead of juot.net.)

If you had Local Hosted media definitions installed, it would cause a conflict. Then when media was posted, both definitions would try to convert in the post.

The reason you try not to be too broad with definitions your distributing to the public is you never know when you don't want a page converting or you want a particular URL string to do something else. Case in point, I like having user profile links auto convert. I did not like that it put "Username- City of Gamers Online Community". I just wanted the username and I didn't want to change title of my pages just to accommodate that. The same with thread titles. I would get the full name of the thread and the full name of my site, and again, I didn't want to pull my site name out of the pages, and I doubted that users of the def would, too. Also, people might not want every page on their forum to convert, just certain aspects. Granular control seemed to make sense in this case.
