Well, that's an interesting incident.

It seems the vB folk had to disable the display of this option. Why? I think I remember some announcement being made about some possible XSS vuln in some bbcode utilities.

So, the vB people changed their templates to disable the showing of the "parseurl" option. This can be found in several templates:

<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />

This turns the parsing of urls on, and hides the option away from all of us.

So, if you change the templates to reflect:

<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="0" />

It should continue hiding the option, and also turn off the parsing of the links.

The templates this can be found in:

calendar_edit
editpost
newpoll
newreply
newthread
pm_newpm
SHOWTHREAD
threadadmin_mergeposts
usernote_note

if you wanna show the option, change it to:

<input type="checkbox" name="parseurl" id="parseurl" checked="checked" /> <label for="parseurl">Automatically Parse URLs to BBCode</label>

Gooooooooooooood luck.
