I noticed it here:

Hey Whoopsy, thanks for the heads-up!
I fixed the issue in the thread you linked using a workaround.
We'll check whether there is a technical solution to prevent this issue in the future, but for now you can always use the url tag like this to avoid problematic urls from showing:
Code: Select all
[url=www.your.url/here]some text[/url]
it will then look like this:
some text
Clicking on the text will lead the user to
http://www.your.url/here.

To add: for accessibility purposes, we recommend users use the script Mooocow's provided anyway. This way those using screen readers get more useful information. It works best if you use the 'some text' space to provide information about the site you're linking too.

Is there a way to use this tag to provide mouse over alt text on a link as well?
