I notice it's not possible to put relative URLs in a URL tag, because it rather simply prepends "http://" to the start if it doesnt exist, and that's it.
Thus, relative URLs end up as a <a href="http:///showthread.php...">
This is kinda a nuisance, because VBDNF allows login to either of:
http://vbdotnetforums.com
http://www.vbdotnetforums.com
and these two have different cookies. Thus if I'm logged into www.vbdotnetforums.com and someone sends me a link to a topic that is http://vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php... then I dont see the images (because I'm not logged in there
I noticed this when reviewing the DNU thread in my sig. I've linked by putting the URL tag:
URL="vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php..."
but people who are logged into www... will never see these images

While a resolution to the bug would take time for Jelsoft to implement, perhaps putting a server-issued client-side-redirect from vbdotnetforums.com to www.vbdotnetforums.com would also solve the issue?
