ntdoc, thanks for replying, but Active Text is not what I'm looking for -- Gizmo is right, the forum software auto-converts any text starting with www. or http:// to a clickable link, and I'm looking for a way to stop that. I only want links to be clickable if the user deliberately makes them into an URL, I don't want the automatic conversion of text.

I want to know where to look to comment out the code that automagically does this job. smile
