No, I asked if you know how. That's what this (?) funny little character means

There ya go tobias_t, you just need to know how to ask

[HMBeaty]

To me, you sounded like you were accusing me of not knowing how to code. I could've just told you to look at my profile to see all the URL rewriting hacks I've done....

[Dave Hawley]

No, not all. I have no idea what you are capable of. However, you do seem to assume those asking questions have the same capabilities as you. Which would beg the question of why they would ask in the 1st place

Thanks! Doesn't look like something I could ever have come up with myself, so your help is much appreciated

I don't yet get it to work though -

On our test server, installing this hack gives me this message on showthread:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /srv/www/htdocs/forum/includes/class_postbit.php(296) : eval()'d code on line 1

On our live server, it does no changes to email addresses at all.

Both installations are 3.6.6. Any ideas?

PHP Code:

$post['message'] = preg_replace('/(<a href="mailto:)(.*)@(.*)(["]{1})/i', "$2 AT $3", $post['message']);

This works much better, but it doesn't yet work work 100%. For name@domain.com, it gives the output:

name AT domain.com>name@domain.com

To you coders, you are not allowed to use this code in your own hacks because I'm making one out of this .
