Default What URL features do you want?

URL's and IMG's in posts

Would you like to see URL and IMG handling improved? There have been various discussions here and there about URL handling in posts and what it should or should not do. The one that bugs me is opening a new window when the content is on-site, which applies to posting links to posts or threads or using [post] or [thread].

Vote away for the features you would like to see and post a little text if there is something not in the poll.

Mind me asking, but what exactly is this for? I don't think I followed the prior discussions. I might be able to contribute to the poll.

There were no specific discussions per se, just various threads/posts concerning complaints or desires centered around the handling of URL's and IMG's in user posts. My apologies if the poll questions are not self-explanatory.

What's this thread for? vB.org or some site of yours? *confused*

Just a question of other site administrators regarding features they would like to see in vBulletin. Just curious if others find the current [URL] and [IMG] handling sufficient.

As I was going through the poll, I was thinking "I actually could use that." I hope the developers implement almost all of these solutions (although some can be stressful on the database).

Good point. Some of the proposed features would require a query when the post is parsed, but given the relative infrequency of URL's in posts, it would be a small penalty.

As an example, converting the link
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68398
to
What URL features do you want? (CarCdr)

would, as you point out, require a query on that threadid.

Here are cases of on-site content that could be translated into more friendly looking/acting links in posts. I am not speaking of vbulletin.org here, just using it in these examples. The idea would be to have vBulletin itself translate the links in a more user-friendly way.

I tagged tham all, and would only iterate that I'd love to be able to indicate that a link iss "off-site" with a small image - seen this on a number of sites (non-vB).

Great idea - probably possible to offset some of the queries with the datastore...

Good ideas Natch.

Doesn't seem to be much interest though. Our site is testing two simple mod's listed in the above options:

1. Open threads/posts in the same window (not new window).
2. Threads/posts show as titles rather than plain URL's.

I like your idea of something special to mark off-site content, although I am not sure I like the icon idea more than marking the text itself differently (i.e., font or style change).
