Thanks, but that code wouldn't work for my guys cause we do a lot of linking to things on our website.

Hmmmmm, now here's a thought outside the box.....
A hack that allows for only onsite urls ?????
That would rock!!!

Seems if someone can figure out how to check forumid for SloppyGoat, then they could check a character string instead for me.

But to solve my issue still requires a hack to fix how the WYSIWYG editor immediately parses urls to links when you hit a space or return.

Maybe part of the flaw is that the WYSIWYG editor doesn't handle the "auto parse links in text" box in "realtime" (doesn't check it at start of post either, but hey, I'm just thinking out loud).

In other words.....
If the Auto Parse Links Box was turned into WYSIWYG realtime, then maybe it would fix the flaw by allowing for the conditional check at the moment you hit the space or return after typing in the link.
