underlining the [url] tag

However for the "alt1" css feilds in the admincp I have links with "none" as the formatting. This is because I don't want to see lines under every forum link on the forum home.

Basically I only want links underlined in the postbit. Is there a way to modify the [ url ] tag to include an underline? The admin cp only shows custom BBcodes that can be modified not the default ones.

Thanks for the hint, Dyntheos. I wanted to do the same thing but didn't think of modifying the default URL behavior. There may be an easier way, but this worked for me:

open /includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php

Find:

PHP Code:

// standard URL hyperlink
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>"; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

// standard URL hyperlink
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">$text</span></a>";
