Missing Option For Forum Posts

[rswyan]

IIRC, there used to be a vBulletin option when creating/editing a post, something along the lines of "Retrieve Page Title From Links" that seems to have gone missing recently ...

It would pull the page title/name for any links one added to a post from the site one was linking and name the soon-to-be-embedded link that.

I scoped out my user options but didn't see anything related to it there.

Anyone have any insight ?

That is not available from "quick reply" message composing box (the default box at the bottom of each page) but it should do that automatically.
If you click "Go Advanced" button that option (labeled "Automatically parse links in text") shows up (at least it does for me).

The option you refer to (labeled "Automatically parse links in text") is not the option I'm talking about - parsing a link - which occurs if you paste or a type a web address into your reply (rather than using the "Link" tool) and have that option checked is not the same as retrieving a page title.

Here's a picture of the option I'm referring to, from another vBulletin forum where it still does appear (click to enlarge) - the option is "Automatically retrieve titles from external links":
