comments on profile page

I really dont see the point of not parsing url's and emoticons in comments on profile page's. :)

So i would sugest that you make comments on profile pages more like posts in topics or comments on IP.Content pages where if you put this:



You would get this:

Have you tried reporting it in the tracker?

It's not a bug so I wouldn't bother. :)

Of course i didnt report this as a bug. This is how prfile page's work since 2.3.x but there was some small fix i found somewhere which enabled emoticons to be parsed. ;) Cant remember how links worked, but this not parsing links in IPB 3 is just weird.

That is why i opened this topic in "IPS Company Feedback" forum, so maybe they change this url & emoticons not parsing issue for next versions.

Right now we run a special routine to parse out b, i and u tags only.

When the feature was originally built we avoided using the bbcode parser to prevent someone from leaving a bunch of crazy bbcode-formatted content on profiles. I'm not really for or against the suggestion myself.

I am for parsing code on profiles. It confuses people when they can use a smiley one place and not in another.

How about putting in some setting like "Allow only friend to leave comments?" which would be default "Yes". Or just make it so that you can add comments if you are friend of that person.
