transformation of typing into url's - when did that start?

[newbury]

For example:
I type in:
www. tractobynet. com
but without the spaces after the periods, then when I preview it or post it the board software puts [ url] (without the space after the [ bracket) in front and [/url] behind

www.tractobynet.com

Is there some way I can turn it off?

If I understand what you are saying... if you don't type in www. you will not get the forum code that creates a hyperlink.

Thanks, that does it!

Is there some way I can turn that off always?

I don't think so, I looked but I didn't see anything that jumped out as being able to do that permanently. The only thing that might work is to go to the basic text only editor. But I'm not sure on that.
