Insert Hyperlink option is outdated, can it be removed?

[Possum577]

So the insert hyperlink button still appears at the top of the comment box when making a post, but if one types a url - www.yahoo.com - the website address automatically turns into a hyperlink. Seems like the button has become obsolete, should it be removed as a default option from the post menu?

Thanks.

it's still useful if you want to do this

try quoting me if you're wondering how to do that

If you want to add a link with custom text then this option is useful, normally when you write a url its diplay/anchor text is same as url but using hyperlink tag you can change it.

1. You can avoid it by adding 'nobbc' tag.

www.yahoo.com

Code:

[nobbc]www.yahoo.com[/nobbc]

2. It won't be removed as that option is useful for creating hyperlinks.(see Zorrocoin's post above)

I like to see a url not a blind link, people are using it to disguise ref links and malicious sites.

Example

I'm using from 22th April some unknown cloud mining service named: Scryptsy.com
It seems that this site has nothing with Cryptsy exchange.
I can say that for now withdraw was everyday and everything was fine.

And scores 7/7 on the Ponzimeter.
Nice hidden ref link btw.

And I don't link posting full URL's, as I like to do stuff like this:

It's called 'glamour red' and it's pretty sexy.

Anyone recommend me any apps?

Well, it's really really red, lol. Anyway, here is a list of apps that are a must have for me:
- Xposed Framework (Let's you add a lot of amazing stuff, without changing your System or APK's. Rooted device required)
- Total Commander (The best file explorer there is, available for Windows as well)
- Poweramp (Amazing music player)
- Uninstall (It's an app to remove System apps (bloatware and what not), Root required)
- Link2SD (Allows you to move apps to your SD and has a lot of other useful options. Rooted devices only. Be sure to read this to understand how awesome it is).
- SD Maid (Amazing cleaner app)
- AndroIRC (Great app, if you are a vivid IRC user)
- Battery+ (A good battery information app, very good at guessing how long your phone will last)
- Titanium Backup (Good for backuping apps and their data, requires Root, bit hard to get)
- BSPlayer Free (Very good movie player with automatic subtitle search)
- MoonReader (Amazing app for reading PDF's, ePUB's, etc)

Anyway, this is a useless thread as it won't be removed, ever. This will most likely turn into a post padding tread.
