v b b always being converted

[Andreas]

Whenever I type v b b (without the spaces) in a post or my profile it is magically being converted to vB.
That's a real PITA as the path on our server is / v b b (without the spaces) and thus I can never type the correct URL :ermm:

[assassingod]

The reason for this happening is because many people say 'vbb' rather than 'vb' (which is the correct term for vBulletin)

[NTLDR]

Its the same on vB.com, I can't find the thread on there that gave the exact reason why though.

[Andreas]

Well I don't care for normal text, but for URLs you should avoid this conversion as it may make them invalid

[Zachery]

because vBB is a whole nother bulletin board ;D

[TheAnt]

There's a vBB?

I thought noobies just said vBB as vBulletin Board?

[Zachery]

tehy do but there is a vBB

[TheAnt]

I just found it on google.

Yeah so what he's asking is to stop replacing the text in URLs

Anyways, I don't really think it should be a replacement - might confuse some newcomers here, etc.
