You will need to provide some additional information in order for us to fully understand what your problem is and how to help you fix it.

  • Please include your code in the next post. Put the code inside [code][/code] tags so that we can read it.
  • Where exactly is it not getting hyperlinked? Text won't automatically be turned into hyperlinks, you have to put the code to create the hyperlinks.
  • http:www//sitename.com is not a valid web location. http://www.sitename.com is an example of a valid web location.

You can either allow BB codes to be used like most web forums, or if you truly don't want users to have to type any tags (like these cool forums here), you'll have to parse the message and look for a web address. Probably using regular expressions to determine what a valid address in your text should look like.
