A few minor board improvements

I noticed that sometimes links don't automatically get recognized and converted into clickable links like they should in some messages. I have rewrote the link recognition function and it should now catch most all links.
I also added the ability to view the message you are replying to on the message preview page by clicking a link at the end of the page. I like to be able to review the message I am replying to and thought others might like that ability too. To save space and bandwidth, it only loads after you click the link.
I also made the text area bigger to type messages.

And now some boring technical details about the link recognition. The only time it will not work is if the system can't determine what the complete link should be. This occurs when a link exists within a sentence.
https://canetalk.com/blah blah/blah
https://canetalk.com/blah (blah in parenthesis)
https://canetalk.com/blah blah
Where does the link end? In instances where a link has a space for example, the system doesn't know where the link should end and can't know for sure what was meant. (Because some links do have spaces in them.) If you ever don't feel like using the link function to manually insert a link, all you need to do in these special circumstances above is to simply use a double space after your link:
https://canetalk.com/blah blah/
https://canetalk.com/blah (blah in parenthesis)
https://canetalk.com/blah blah
Unless you do actually want to have a link with a space in it to work:
https://canetalk.com/blah blah/
For that, you will need to manually insert a link using code like this:
[url="https://canetalk.com/blah blah/"]https://canetalk.com/blah blah/[/url]
To create this:
https://canetalk.com/blah blah/
If any errors pop up, let me know. |
