Designed that way...

That's one of my minor complaints but reportedly how it was designed...even if you use the BBS tags you must include the "http://" for it to work. (That defeats the purpose since sites beginning with http:// are automatically turned into URLs by the forum software.) If you leave off the http:// it adds the subdomain to the beginning of the URL making the link invalid.

Simply change the parens in the above to braces and get:
