auto parse URLs is buggy...

[Mday]

i quoted someone in cases and cooling, and produced some weird results.

he mislinked using ftp for http, so the link reads "ftp://http://..." so, that may have something to do with it.

basically, the autoparser created a link for the http part of the mislink, and caused some html code to appear when i editted. that is, "<a href" and all that good stuff was present when i editted. try it for yourself.

Edit2. hmm, each time you edit the message it gets worse as well.

Yep, and things especially get bad when you use the WYSIWYG editor... 🙁
