OK, To remove the Parsing of URL's I think you need to remove the following from functions.php (Make sure you backup the file first, I haven't tested it and am not resposible if it goes wrong

)
And remove $parseurlChecked from the template
PHP Code:
// ###################### Start checkurl #######################
function checkurl($url, $hyperlink="") {
$righturl = $url;
if(!preg_match("![a-z]://!si", $url)) {
$righturl = "http://$righturl";
}
// remove threat of users including javascript in url
/*$righturl = preg_replace("/javascript:/si", "java script:", $righturl);
$righturl = preg_replace("/about:/si", "about :", $righturl);*/
$hyperlink = iif(trim($hyperlink)=="" or $hyperlink==$url, iif(strlen($url)>55,substr($url,0,35)."...".substr($url,-15),$url) ,$hyperlink);
return "<a href=\"$righturl\" target=\"_blank\">".str_replace('\"', '"', $hyperlink)."</a>";
}
// ###################### Start parseurl #######################
function parseurl($messagetext)
{ // the auto parser - adds [url] tags around neccessary things
global $urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray, $emailSearchArray, $emailReplaceArray;
if (!isset($urlSearchArray)) {
$urlSearchArray = array(
"/([^]_a-z0-9-=\"'\/])((https?|ftp|gopher|news|telnet):\/\/|www\.)([^ \r\n\(\)\^\$!`\"'\|\[\]\{\}<>]*)/si",
"/^((https?|ftp|gopher|news|telnet):\/\/|www\.)([^ \r\n\(\)\^\$!`\"'\|\[\]\{\}<>]*)/si"
);
$urlReplaceArray = array(
"\\1[url]\\2\\4[/url]",
"[url]\\1\\3[/url]"
);
$emailSearchArray = array(
"/([ \n\r\t])([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}))/si",
"/^([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}))/si"
);
$emailReplaceArray = array(
"\\1[email]\\2[/email]",
"[email]\\0[/email]"
);
}
$text = preg_replace($urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray, $messagetext);
if (strpos($text, "@")) {
$text = preg_replace($emailSearchArray, $emailReplaceArray, $text);
}
return $text;
}
Let me know if that works.
