Please note, this hack is NO LONGER SUPPORTED. I have built a new mod that accomplishes the same thing but the method is completely different. To avoid confusion, I just created a new mod. You can find the new mod here:
Added support for threads with the newpost and lastpost attributes in the query string.
Made matches less greedy.
-----------------------------------
I wish I could come up with a better name for this plugin..
Basically what this does is if someone posts a link in a thread that links to a thread in your forum, it will replace the link text with the title of that thread.
This is for version 3.5.x and should work for future versions unless they move hooks around.
As far as support, I will reply to this thread when I can.
Installation is simple, go to your admin cp, click plugin system, click download/upload plugin and upload the attached plugin.
NOTE: The second xml file (vbulletin-plugins-anon.xml) is ONLY needed for the anonymizer hack. If you have that hack installed, then use the second file, otherwise, use the first. Only install the second file IF you use the anonymizer hack. It is either or, don't install both!
Also note if you have other plugins that alter links other than the anonymizer, such as mods that make your links look like html pages, or in anyway alters links entered into posts, then this will probably not work for you.
The only other thing you should do after that is CLICK INSTALL.

The original didn't work for me, it just made multiple posts with a single (unchanged) URL.

I tried this one too, (after removing the other.) Still no go. Local URLS just stay he same. I, too, am on 3.5.3. Any clues?
Ok, i figured out, that my fixed plugin doesn't work if you use the WYSIWYG editor to post. It only works if the normal or enhanced editor is being used. So I just fixed the fixed version again, and it should work now. It now replaces links like the original version does, so it will also replace links if you set a title for them.

Thanks, I tried again but it still didn't work. Running 3.5.3 over here. I even switched from WYSIWYG editor to Standard, and I still couldn't get it to work. Posted messages with local links didn't change.
Oh, I'm sure it works for some folks. What more info would you like? I installed the hack, I posted a link of a forum thread, and it doesn't get the "title," it just stays as the full URL. I tried it with the "Insert Hyperlink" button as well as just pasting in the URL and letting VB parse it as a hyperlink.
I tried it in both the vB default skin as well as my 3rd party add-on. Tried it with the Enhanced Editor as well as the Standard. On Mac OS X running Safari.
