I think instances of sister-site ubbdev should be hotlinked, (here, via Active Text) cuz it comes up often enough, and new users don't necessarily know about it....

That part could be tricky because it can be written a number of different ways...

Here's one suggestion: make ANY *.tld a hyperlink, so typing ubbdev.com or *.com or *.us or *.co.uk or *.mobi etc becomes a link.

But for Dev itself, any instance of "ubbdev" perhaps as well...? Or at the very least, add it to the "Site Links" list (visits = interest = more development) smile

well, there isn't a ubbdev.mobi; so I fail to see how that'd be useful...

I'm suprised UBBDev isn't an activetext however; I'd like to see it added (I thought we did have this at one point)

I said the option to display any/all domains as hyperlinks wink So if someone typed yahoo.com it'd be a link just like http://yahoo.com is -- this is in addition to the ubbdev active text wink

Or begin with http:// yeah, I understand. But why not also links that don't use www (which I heard could eventually be deprecated) like us.imdb.com or my.yahoo.com ? wink

Likely you're talking about the "anti-www" legislation, which is IMO, crap wink
