When someone inserts a link to another page in a forum post, all it does is say "Link"
example: Link
INSTEAD of doing that, shouldn't it be posting the true URL of the site, or atleast the url without http/www included. (i neglected to include the proper syntax on purpose)
so say i want to post Link instead of it showing up as just "Link" it should show up as "Link: getfirefox.com" or something similar.
this protects users that don't hover and check the links for a potential phishing scam.
example: i post a link, and i say its going to go to different thread here-- but actually its a link to my own server with a fake login script that looks similar to times daily's, once a user entered their user/pass- i would have it.
