Hi Paul,

It seems that cutting and pasting the URL of a forum topic into a post and using the preview button can cause the
https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/ bit to get chopped off the front and the hyperlink lost.

e.g.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=44907

It's fine if it's surrounded by [url] tags:

https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=44907

Is it possible to fix this, please?

Testing.... hopefully the links are now never shortened and this means they continue to work after you've done a preview.

I had seen these short links that aren't clickable in some posts and had never managed to work out how they had got like that, so thanks for working out it was to do with preview (also if you edited the post, but that doesn't happen very often)
