Can we please have the option to automatically parse links in our posts? Having to paste, then highlight and then click "add link" icon, and paste again is very annoying!!!  Almost every other forum I go to has the ability to auto parse the links.

Since you post a link so that people can go to that site, it stands to reason that you want to make the link a hyperlink.  So why do we have to jump through hoops to do that?

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
