Automatic links are evil!
 

Dear RCU people,

I have found a bug that is highly annoying.

When I make a link of a word that is in the RCU auto link thingy list, the RCU forum just forces its own link on it.

Heres an example:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_25...tm.htm#2508611

Ive put a [url] on the term "Hobbico Accu-Cycle Elite", to make it point to the RCU review of the particulair product.
But instead, the RCU system peels it apart and puts on its own link from some dumb site that doesnt even sell them.


Can someone please have a look at this?
Thanks in advance.

I went to the post link that you provided and clicked on the word Hobbico and it took me directly to the review.

Thats only the first word. I linked the entire product name. But it just cuts me off halfway to put its own link...

I see the problem. This is one of those rare cases where the linky thing interferes with a member link (or partially on this one). The link actually should not have been approved since they don't sell the accu-cycle. On renewal it won't be allowed. we strive to make all links point to the product that the word defines. I'll see if I can tweak the code to fix this but it is nasty. I spent a huge amount of time coding the matches and I have to see if I can except out this type of scenario.
