One thing seems different since my u/g to vb3, and that is the URL parsing...
With vb2 if a news post had a really long URL in it the pluhnews page would show the
http://www.blahblah...blah.com (i.e. cut down size) link just like the normal showthread templates do. With pluhnews running on vb3 the links no longer get cut down... they still get cut down in the normal forum view but on the news page the full length URL is shown. This sometimes causes havoc with the site layout.
Anyone have any idea why that is and how it can be changed?
