Non clickable URLs?

[Cambofrog]

Are there any settings I can use to produce non clickable URLs on this forum?

If I type in a URL (without using URL tags), the message seems to be parsed and any URLs are wrapped in URL tags anyway.

I know that in the majority of cases, most URLs posted should be clickable, but if you want a URL to be non clickable, how can you do that without messing with the URL tags?

When editing a post, it seems that the url tags can't be removed completely. If you try and remove the url tags completely, they are just added again when saving the edit.

Hmmm... I can't really think of a good way. Why do it anyway?

Works with bbcode tags too too, so for example, to stop www.google.co.uk becoming a link, and to make it bold, type:

[noparse][noparse]www.google.co.uk[/noparse][/noparse]

[noparse]www.google.co.uk[/noparse]

bizare...you guys arent using the noparse tag, right? because i cant click on either of those links lol (yours is fine danneh)

I use Linkification so it converts them into clickies anyway.

Looks like underline/italics/bold stops it becoming a link too. Well there you go.

It doesn't. They've done both

In the advanced reply page, there is a tick box for automaticaly parsing URLs. Simply untick that box.

www.google.com

oh yeah it does.


but note if you then edit the post, it automatically re-ticks the box and parses the links when you hit ok lol

Only reason I can think of is so that it doesnt show in the logs that a load of people have all come from the same site

Sorry, don't need any formatting hacks, james wins in post #3, re: noparse tags

You can also do it by unticking an option under the reply box..

Thanks for the info regarding the options guys, but not making a URL clickable would be an exception rather than the rule, so the noparse tags sounds like the best bet.

I know I was looking for options settings originally, but I wasn't aware of the tags available to disable parsing.

Thanks all
