Tag bugs adding URL to Quote?

Why is this hlinked to the above URL when I’ve closed the URL tag?

2

The text under the quote box isn’t a link in Netscape on a Mac, but is in IE on a Mac.

3

And on IE 6.02 for Win, which is what I’m using.

I’m just not sure why it would be, or why the text would be underlined.

Here’s the code, using { instead of [



{url="www.yahoo.com"}{quote}Here is my quote, why is it underlined{/quote}

Why is this hlinked to the above URL when I've closed the URL tag?

Blarg. Make that


{url="www.yahoo.com"}{quote}{/url}Here is my quote, why is it underlined{/quote}

Why is this hlinked to the above URL when I've closed the URL tag?

I cannot give an exact answer, but it appears that you have succeeded in confusing the software.

You have a url tag set in which the beginning of a quote tag set is embedded within the url and the closure to the quote tag set is outside the url tag set.
You are also using quotation marks in the url, which is proper to UBB, but is not generally recognized (and is an error) in vB.

I figure you’re lucky that it did not simply shut down your puter and send a nasty personal message off to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

I’ve always used quote marks with URLs in vBulletin, and there was a stretch of time when that was the preferred method and omitting the quotes could cause bugs. As examples, Google, Yahoo, and Mozilla (all entered using quote marks around the URLs).

But the overlapping tags could reasonably cause browser confusion.
