Oops! I'm really sorry for the confusion. "Personal Text" is a User Profile field I set up. I've had it as part of my forums for so many years I completely forgot it's not a default VB profile field.
So what I'm really asking is... when using a single-line text box User Profile can I force it to not convert URL's to clickable links? Currently any text entered in that field that starts with www gets converted to a link. No BB codes required.
Thanks and again I apologize for the confusion.
