Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	Two problems I see with automatic hyperlinking. 1. If a URL someone types begins with http: then everything before the first w is truncated. This shouldn't happen. 2. Spaces before automatic hyperlinks are removed, at least if the hyperlink begins with http.
