I think the Scratch Team were asked about this... and they said no... hmm It's a universal setting or something, so they can't do it...

You could always type:

Code:

[url]http://scratch.mit.edu[/url]

instead... The url tag still works smile

coolstuff · 2010-06-16 16:16:54

Yes, Wolfie got it right. It's a universal setting, so you can't enable it for just one class of users without delving deep into the code of FluxBB...

Chrischb · 2010-06-17 01:16:51

I think this should be enabled... people could just spend a few more seconds putting [url] tags around their links anyway.

Jonathanpb · 2010-06-17 01:41:13

This was enabled before... surely it could be brought back? hmm Not that I mind using the BBCode tags. tongue

juststickman · 2010-06-17 03:42:53

But who is it disabled for?

I understand it's universal, but what does that have to do with not turning it on? I think everyone should be able to post links like that...

Yeah... why disable it when the trolls can just use [url] tags? hmm

It slows them down a bit smile
Along with the 17-minute rule and various other barriers, they won't stand a chance.

Can't they spend part of the 1000 seconds putting in the BBCode tags? 1000 seconds is a lot of time - it only takes a few seconds to add in the BBCode tags. So... along with the 1000 seconds, disabling normal links isn't really going to help slow down the spammers. hmm

scimonster · 2011-03-14 07:11:09

I think they did it in the TBG.

I thought New Scratchers couldn't use the url tag anyway? hmm

They can't for outside of Scratch. wink
This should be brought back for Scratchers, at least for inside of Scratch. smile
