...that automatically replaces your quasi-cleverly written introduction with the TITLE tag from the html -- am I the only one here who hates it? |

Don't know what you're talking about, Erik - works the same for me as it always has.

No you're not the only one, Erik.
It also erases multiple links, at least for me. It only shows the top one. |

I'll turn it off. I haven't had a chance to play with it this weekend.

Why would you care? I'm not saying it's good or bad. I think 99% of the public won't care or notice and I'm not sure how it impacts anyone use of the system. Not being critical, Erik. In plain language, I just don't know you would care.
I'm not a big fan of the colors, but (shrug), they are what they are. |

Colors mean squat to me. But this "feature" modifies the text of what I'm trying to say. |

I'm sorry, I'm really lost. We're talking about the URL,right? In this thread, the relevant section would be : Quote: |
44883-new-url-parsing-feature.html
| Or is it a different one?
I'm sorry for being dense That's the only thing I can think of the URL being modified, and since the thread is a collaborative effort and your text isn't modified, why does it matter?
Like I said, I'm probably just missing in front of my face, but I don't see anything that "modifies the text of what [you're] trying to say.
Not picking a fight, just trying to understand. |

George, when you post a link with text in it, it can go and replace that text with the name of the page you are linking to. I need to check the settings because what I WANT it to do is to replace that text only if you haven't entered text of your own.

Got it. I told you the answer was right in front of me.

Erik, it seems to be working correctly now. Let me know if it doesn't for future posts that you make.

So you're saying Erik is *not* a mentor for the Young Republicans?
Could've sworn it from the links I saw. |

Actually, I am a mentor for the Young Republicans. They just don't listen very well. Kids these days... |

Wait, wait, I think I've got it. You know how when you look at the top of a page, in that little blue bar, it usually has a title to it? Like the top of this page has the title of this thread, then a dash and EA Forums after it. I just clicked on an ad for Yahoo HotJobs in another window, and the top of the page has Yahoo Hot Jobs, Thousands of Jobs, etc.
So - Amy has put in a feature that when you include a URL, it grabs that little title from that page, and makes it the text for that link, instead of just having a blahbitty-blah URL. Right? Oh, please tell me I'm right!

The problem arises with said nifty feature when you'd rather put your own witty comments as the link, instead of a pre-fab page title. |

Um, I just typed my witty comment ("test") as the link and it worked just fine.
