Well in the editor in standard vbulletin if you highlight text in a message and then click the button for entering a web link (looks like earth with chain link) it will use the highlighted text as what the user sees to click on, like my example above that says "Best Cayman Site on the Web".

In Reviewpost you don't have the same editor as vbulletin in the forum, so you cannot click on a button because there isn't one. You can, however, manually type in BB codes like [url] or [url="..."] followed by a closing tag.

What I am saying is that when the text is parsed whatever is doing the interpreting of the BB code URL tag is only recognizing [url] by itself, not the url bb code tag with the option.

I would assume that if you look at how vbulletin parses BB Codes for the URL tag in the vbulletin editor and applied that same code to ReviewPost it would work correctly. Ultimately I'd like to see the WYSIWYG editor from the vbulletin forum applied to entering the product description or in my case what we use it for is articles. When you post a REVIEW then you get the WYSIWYG editor and I'm assuming the BB Codes are handled properly, but they don't seem to be for entering the product or article initially that you are going to do a review upon.

Since there is no wysiwyg editor in there today I have to manually type the BB Codes, which I am fine with doing, but it would be nice if they all worked as I would expect them to.

Does that help?
