How to avoid links in forum postings?

Post by olavt »

I posted a note describing som problems with CGGoogleMaps 1.3.3 in the "Modules etc" forum. It almost imideatly disappeared.

My guess is that it was caugt in a spam-filter, and the reason was that it contained many links. I did not want to post spam with many links. But I included URLs to pages that displayed various types of behaviour using CGGoogleMaps functions in various combinations. I did not write these URLs as links, but they were turned into links when posted.

To avoid this to happen in the future, I would like to write URLs included for this purpose in a way so that they are not turned into lnks when posted. But is there a way to do this?

As far as I know, URLs are automatically parsed as links by the forum software. You could try removing the http://www. from the front so it is just domain.com
